Query: Total disappointment.

I read Philip Roth's American Pastoral and was encouraged enough to order another Philip Roth book. Big mistake. I found Everyman to be a complete waste of time. I actually lost my place and read 100 pages over the second time without realizing it. This book is not well-written and the storyline is ridiculous. If this is what Philip Roth has to tell us at the end of a long life, I'm so sad for him. The vision of this old man chasing around a young girl and taking no more thought for what he's doing to the people around him, seems more appropriate teenage behavior. I was disgusted. It was my second and last Philip Roth book. We have much better writers in the USA, I can't imagine why this man is so famous.
