    			  I feel like giving Roth 5 stars for crafting such a concise novel.  There's no fluff and yet the characters and conflicts are expertly drawn.<br/><br/>That said, a little fluff wouldn't hurt &quot;The Humbling.&quot;  It's practically a long short story that wants to be a novel, and it's nearly there.  Also, in the few Roth works that I've read, I haven't been as big a fan of the sexual matter as I want my critical self to be (as in, I want to more thoroughly appreciate what he's saying), and this time it just gets in the way.  Still, the brevity and sex doesn't keep &quot;The Humbling&quot; from being a failure.  There's still plenty of strong dialogue and emotion to push you through to the end, and more than enough sparks to encourage exploration of Roth's backlog.  Next for me is &quot;The Plot Against America&quot; for December's book club.

<span id="freeTextreview_rating70454683" style="display:none" class="reviewText">I have a schoolgirl crush on Nick Hornby.  He's a rock star.  As always, the book was funny and wry and absolutely delightful.  His Americans were suspiciously British to me, but who cares?  He hits the geeky superfan thing right on the head in a way that simultaneously respects the devotion and highlights the absurdity.  I liked the intentional (and actually explicitly acknowledged) lack of growth in the main characters.  Tucker is still a highly dysfunctional parent and artist, and Annie is still rather lonely and pathetic, though thankfully rid of Duncan.  It seems realistic, if a bit sad.  <br/><br/>I recognize that there were probably faults to this book, but I find myself unable to come up with any that really got in the way of my enjoyment of it. I read the book cover to cover yesterday, and it was a day wonderfully spent.          <a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating70454683'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating70454683'); return false;">(less)</a></span>
