1.0étoiles sur 5 Portnoy Needs an Imodium, Nov. 9 2001
Par JENNIFER R. BERG (Bend, OR United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Paperback)
Enjoying caustic, in-your-face satire every now and again, I really gave this book a girlscout's try, but the thought of wading through yet one more chapter of this muck gave me severe indigestion. I have never suffered through such streaming diarreha of one's consciousness, and unlike most, I found the story (oh, was there a story?) to hold little to no humor or literary, spiritual, psychological or any other worthiness. What's the appeal here? My life is too short to have to scoop poop for 289 pages before finally being enlightened by Roth's take on the real meaning of bowel movements and other such bodily secretions. Somebody, give Portnoy a sock!

1.0étoiles sur 5 Dena's Complaint, Jui 13 2000
Par "belladena" (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Paperback)
I haven't read such a disappointing book in my life (this year so far)! It started off interesting, funny, meaningful - I thought he'd go somewhere with it. Off the deep-end?

Absolutely NOTHING was accomplished with this novel and I don't feel I've gained anything from it. The main character, Alexander Portnoy, simply recounts a series of sexual encounters - with women, glass milk bottles, pieces of raw meat - the whole book just turned into a farce, needling in on the same obsession over and over. Does everyone with an overbearing mother sexually assault raw animal flesh?

If this is definitive Jewish-American literature, something is seriously wrong and a re-assessment should be in order. This garbage is going directly to my bird's cage. Better lining than literature.

Philip Roth has to be the greatest self-loathing Jewish man alive, or at least one lucky enough to make a career out of it.

2.0étoiles sur 5 BORING,FLAT AND NOT AT ALL FUNNY, Aoû 27 1998
Par Un client
This review is from: Portnoy's Complaint (Paperback)
Roth's style remindes me of occasions where people speak out loud to themselves when they are angry with a situation.It was very tiring for me to read a book thats written enntirely in this style.the impression you get is that this guy is hitting his head with a hammer to get ideas to fill the pages of this book instead of visiting a psychiatric and talk about his childhood.all those details about Jew families,thousands of horrible lines about sex that are supposed to be funny....writting diaries not for publication would be better for this writer.it was his only book i read and i dont intent to read more
