I picked this up, because my friend wanted me to get into John Irving. She was succesful, I'd say, although I don't know when I'll actually pick up another book by him. We'll see. ANYWAY, I really enjoyed this. I'd say the plot was all over the place and didn't have clear direction. However, I found that I didn't mind. It was still entertaining throughout and even funny at times. I would recommend this.
