Last Night in Twisted River is the latest by John Irving. Let me begin by saying that I count The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany amoungst my favorite books of all time.
Sadly, Twisted River is not one of my favorites. In fact, I made it only halfway!! I just couldn’t finish it. It went on, and on, and on. It didn’t go anywhere, and I didn’t care about the characters. I think the worst offense was the characters. And the lack of plot. <sigh>
I really don’t like not being able to finish a book. It feels like quitting.
