Title: Very Disappointing
Product review: As a long time John Irving fan, I found this book very disappointing. I probably wouldn't have stayed with it as long as I did if it hadn't been for my past enjoyment of his other works. The first section of Jack and his mother moving from town to town working in tattoo parlors got a bit repetitive. Then, with young Jack at the Girl's school for grade's one thru four along with the older school girls' mistreatment and abuse, it became uncomfortable to read. The last straw was when the older babysitter raped him. At that point, I decided not to continue.I read fiction as a form of entertainment. John Irving has written some really good novels. From a social and personal perspective, this is not one of them.
