Title: Just not good
Product review: I've read every one of John Irving's novels. I've been there through repeat appearances of New England prep schools, bears, dress-maker's dummies, Vienna, sexual awakenings, wrestling protagonists, and sibling love affairs. Generally I've enjoyed them all, until this one. It's just plain not good. Save yourself 800 pages and read his first book, Setting Free the Bears. If you've read others of his you'll appreciate the origins of many of his story lines.
