Title: What have I missed?
Review: Frankly, the first book I read by Mr. Roth, The Great American Novel, about 25 years ago, was my last. . . until I gave him a reprieve with American Pastoral. The reason why I decided to read this one was based on the reviews by the so-called experts. I wish I had had more faith in my instincts. I was just as bored this time around as the first. Then again, what have I missed? Someone(s) must think very highly of this work to award Mr. Roth a Pulitzer.
Is the review positive or negative?
