Title: Embarrassing quasi-porn
Product review: This book is an old-fashioned, "shock the middle-class" novel, circa 1962, but actually written in the mid-1990's. It is silly, overly serious, pompous, and tiresome - but I must admit that it has some great paragraphs here and there (the cemetery scene is wonderful). I read the book because Roth is taken seriously by people I respect, but after reading this I now question their judgement.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
