Title: Sweet and sad and goofy?
Review: Can a book be goofy, ironic, sweet, romanic and sad? This one can. I've never read anything quite like it and am now interested in reading more Irving books to see what other surprises he may have in store. Unlike other reviewers, I did care about the characters and while they were broadly drawn at first, Mr. Irving brought them to life. It is true that we often spend a lot of time looking at the surfaces people show us, totally unaware of how deep they really are--that's one of the very profound things this very funny book has to say.
Is the review positive or negative?
