This is my first foray into Philip Roth's writing and I sense that this novel wasn't an ideal introduction for a Philip Roth newbie. Yet the subject matter of lust and longing was right up my alley.
There are no words to describe the magnetic pull of a sexual creature like Consuela and Roth does a good job of (purposely) objectifying her and exposing the idiosyncrasies of his main character, David Kepesh.
I would've liked to have known more about the Carolyn character, but as in real life, certain people come into our lives and disappear without closure. The ending is a little uneven but overall this was a decent read and I wouldn't be opposed to reading more Roth in he future.
