Negative Positive
Title: Brilliantly written
Review: I get lost sometimes in writing that is so artistic and powerful you feel swept up in an author's grasp. You feel like he can lead you anywhere. Roth is one of those writers who may not be the best story teller, but can he paint a word picture? Can you just get lost in his prose? Can he make you stare at a sentence for a minute or two after you read it, making you think somehow he's changed your life with one good swift kick in the groin? Yes to all of the above. I recommend this book if you like a great writer. If you love the power and energy in a well written paragraph even if it tries to do too much and even if it's point isn't really a point but it leaves you thinking none the less. It's a tragic look at a desperate life. But in the end, I found myself uplifted.
