Negative Positive
Title: An excellent read
Review: Everything the professional reviewers write is true; this is a marvelous story of how dysfunctional families actually function quite well, thank you very much.But I'm surprised that none of the reviews mention Mr. Sheridan's gift with words. Funny, yes. Poignant, yes. But stated with such a beautiful, lyrical simplicity (if that isn't an oxymoron) that one feels he could write a 500-word description of a garbage heap that could be set to music. And for a memoir of Ireland's premier theater director, it's a lovely trinute to a father who did his best as well as he knew how.Really the only thing I regret about reading this book is that he stopped at 1970 and didn't continue for another 20-odd years.
Is the review positive or negative?
