Title: Stop After You Read "A Widow for One Year"
Review: If only John Irving had hung up his pen after he wrote "A Widow for One Year." Irving claims this book attempts to answer a question about dreams - how do you know when you've had a dream of the future? My question for him is: "Why do people - writers, (Irving, Heller) sports figures, Michael Jordan, etc., find it so difficult to quit while they're on top?" A Widow for One Year was everything this book is not: interesting, full of well developed characters, witty, different. This book never explores the motivations of anyone, except in the most shallow, obvious manner.My advice to anyone who's read Hotel New Hampshire, The World According to Garp and AWFOY is to stop there, and don't read this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
