placoderm_fish 's review for:

American Pastoral by Philip Roth
4.0

It took about two chapters to adjust to Roth's writing style, as the author has a knack for run-on sentences. And there are passages full of esoteric details on things like glove-making. But once you adjust to the style the pay-off is great. The energy and pacing of the writing is incredible and the story is a psychological trip. I highly recommend this one and look forward to exploring more Philip Roth novels.
