Title: A great book, but as an Irving fan not his best
Review: Speaking as a fan of Irving's previous work it's hard for me to say that any of his work not be vary good, but uncomfortably I get that feeling for The Fourth Hand. A beautiful story full of emotion that is captured with Irving's distinct style, but lacking in the detail "length" of characterization found in his previous work. While the story has great potential as a great Irving novel, the book leaves me with the feeling that it was underdeveloped. I highly recommend that you do read it though because it is still a great book. My expectations were higher though ...
