American Pastoral by Philip Roth

2.0

I keep wanting to like Philip Roth more than I do. This book just felt like it dragged on an on. Several places he seemed to be repeating himself so I felt like I'd read a section already but it was just repeating what had been in an earlier section. And I often enjoy books that don't wrap things up neatly at the end but this one just ended. Like he got tired of writing it and just stopped. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind ending where it did or how it did.
