Title: A Pointless Read
Product review: After enjoying American Pastoral, I bought Sabbath's Theater in a used book store excited to give it a chance. Instead, I found myself very disappointed with this novel. While some credit his use of characters of moral ambiguity, I found his characters rather unbelievable, unlikable, and therefore uninteresting. The main character, Mickey Sabbath, might be complicated and, some might argue, "deep," but his bizarre and crude antics make it difficult to care when so you have to struggle painfully through hundreds of pages of convoluted back story supposedly explaining why he has slipped so far. I found the numerous and sometimes gruesome sex scenes distasteful, despite the fact that I am usually neutral or even glad to have such content. Overall, I found this novel boring, disgusting, tedious, and forgettable. All in all a pointless read.
