(John Irving)

Meh. Maybe I'm just not a classics reader. I found the characters annoying -so self absorbed, selfish, and idiotic.

Justifies the existence of the realist novel. There are few things more brutal than those last five chapters.

*4,5/5
For en herlig blanding av det komiske og det tragiske

it's supposed to be one of the best books ever written and I found it extraordinarily dull

An interesting psychological profile, but not quite as succinct as others I have read. The plot tends to jump around a little and does not seem to be entirely connected. But regardless, it's still a good read and a valuable piece of literature.
