This book has taken me a long time to read. It was recommended as one of the best books of 2004.
While it cannot be doubted this is a very clever book in concept and, being Roth, very well written, it never captured my soul.
To me a good book will not let me put it down. This book I could put down at any stage and not be upset by the interruption. The characters were well drawn but I just left it with the impression that the story never raised itself beyond the great idea of what would have happened if...
All in all 4/10
