No one can write a sentence like Philip Roth. Fascinating, compelling and just so dare good you can't explain it.

Very wordy, but we had a great discussion over this book.

Wow! You really had to pay attention to what you are reading in the book. There is one paragraph that changes the entire tone of the book for me. I pointed this out at book club and the whole room had an ah ha moment and it all came together for them. No spoilers here, but definitely worth the effort.

I felt the story was about a man who was trying to do the right things in his life regarding family, working, helping others, etc. but he had serious failures in some of the decisions he made in regard to the above. Phillip Roth always encourages your though process.
