Just finished this. Meh. Not impressed.
It was an easy and enjoyable read but it didn't lead much to anything. I guess that's a good summer read.
Is American Pastoral much better? This was my first Philip Roth novel

American Pastoral fucking blows. That was the only Roth I've read but my god, who makes such a riot over this guy? He's so narrative driven and even then the plot sucks.

This is what we call minor Roth. American Pastoral's pretty good, but it's overrated. Try Sabbath's Theater or Zuckerman Bound for some top Roth.

Thanks for the recs, I'll try to read at least one other book, not really fair to judge an author basing my opinion on one of his minor works

I'll reckon the story flows quite easily though, he certainly is a good storyteller. You can read this in one sitting. But the ending is really underwhelming to say the least
