    • Maybe a masterpiece, maybe a misogynistic, self-indulgent mess
    • For any writers of fiction, English majors, or just avid readers, this is a must-read. Book snobs and other elitists will smile and feel self-satisfied at the abundance of literary allusions and...

    • I went back and read Goodbye Columbus, then Letting Go on purpose and just loved Letting Go even more the second time around. Roth was showing flashes of his magic with his short stories, but his...

    • The fumbling around of a master-in-the-making
    • Three-and-a-half stars. As much as I dislike some of what Roth has written, I can't deny that he's one of the greats in American literature. "Letting Go" reads as you might expect Roth's first...

    • This is the only book by him lacking humanity.
    • I have read "Letting Go" after reading "Goodbye, Columbus" and "Zuckerman Bound" and I felt bitterly let down by this book. It felt cold, devoid of any real humanity, as opposed to others that...

    • Those of us that have seen a friend or family member in a bad marital situation may want to look away when they read this book. "When She Was Good" is almost too realistic at times, which can make...

    • Although I've read almost all of Philip Roth's books, this is the first pre-"Portnoy" novel I've tackled. Very strange to think this book was written by the same man. Although there are...

    • I don't have much to say about this story, other than it is not silly enough or over the top enough to be good. Absurdism is fine, but there isn't really much beyond a man turning into a giant...

    • Required reading for the aspiring novelist
    • This is a novel written entirely in dialog. With
      that limitaiton, Roth has to strech the limits of
      dialog to the maximum in order to do the other
      work of story-telling. There's a...
