Negative Positive
Title: don't bother
Review: I bought this book before any reviews were in, having faith in John Irving and was axiously awaiting his next book ("A Prayer For Owen Meany" being on my ALL TIME FAVORITE list)Along the way I had a hard time feeling anything for it and kept seeing unfavorable reviews. But I kept thinking and hoping that soon it would grab me. Not so! What an incredible waste of time! The main character was a real sleaseball that I could never feel any sympathy for and the ending was like a sappy romance novel. A very untypical John Irving novel - disappointing.
