Title: Boring--a terrible disappointment
Product review: I own most of John Irving's novels, and have greatly enjoyed the majority of them. When I saw this novel at a church bazaar, for only $2.50, I was pleased to find such a bargain--now all the more so because it certainly isn't worth the cover price.Struggling around the halfway mark I am not enthusiastic about finishing this enormous tome. Simply put, it's terribly boring and redundant (frankly I'm tired reading about Emma holding Jack's penis), and none of the characters are very engaging, especially Jack. (BTW, I did NOT vote for George W. Bush and consider myself a liberal Christian.)This is not the John Irving of old ...
