Negative Positive
Title: "one bad thing after another happening to a pathetic little victim," would have been a better title.
Review: I certainly couldn't top the review by A. Ross posted on this site. He hits all the points that make this such a ridiculously bad book. The syrupy, drippy, silly, overwrought, over-the-top, overly melodramatic, bad writing in this book is laughable at times. And it goes on and on and on, tediously pretentious for a mind numbing 440 pages or so. The young protagonist is one of the most annoying characters i have ever experienced in a novel. in fact, there is almost nothing I liked about this gigantic bore of a book. of the 2000 books i have read, i would put this in my 10 worst category.
Is the review positive or negative?
