5.0 out of 5 stars
His signature book. An American Jewish comic masterpiece,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Hardcover)
This is one of the funniest books ever written. Roth has written twenty- seven books to this date, and this remains his best.It is his signature work. There are parts in it which are in my feeling, repulsive, and even extraneous. On the whole the linguistic brilliance is incredible. Another point is that the work while being a comic masterpiece is at times incredibly beautiful,and to use a Roth-mocked word, 'poignant'. One of the great reads of all time.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Ostentatious whining,
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Hardcover)
Ostentatious whining, with an accent, about self initiated contemptible behavior of a free, well educated, unencumbered adult who can't whip his way out of wet paper conscience. Go figya.
5.0 out of 5 stars
3 Cheers for the Pansy of Palestine!,
By Red Emma (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Hardcover)
I have loved this novel for many years and recommend it to any one who has a little "whacked" sense of humor. If you are faint of heart about sexual manners or about issues of religion proceed with caution (although this book might be just what you need). In my high school English class this would be required reading (if I could get away with it)!
