American Pastoral by Philip Roth

3.0

This was my first Philip Roth read, and I have to say, it was an enjoyable experience. Roth really knows how to get to your senses through his writing, especially with the main female character. He can get you to cringe by describing the disgusting yet sad turn-around of a daughter of a well-known, idol-like citizen. As a reader, you'll keep flipping the pages to unravel the lives of this family. (I read this a while ago so all of the names and specific details seemed to have slipped my mind)
