This was certainly not my favorite Irving novel and although it was difficult to get through at times I did like it in general. What I love about his books is that they put people in unique situations and challenge them but the characters don't always make the "right" choices. Sometimes the subject matter in this book was tough to read (rape, incest, prostitution) but I thought it was handled realistically and with beautiful language and emotion, as Irving always does. I recommend this book for fans who want to read all of his novels or those who like to read involved stories that deal with difficult subject matter. It is not for the faint at heart.
