John Irving is either wonderful or unenjoyable. This one started out well with a mother and child traveling Europe trying to catch up with the childs womanizing father. After they give up and go home the boy is enrolled in a mostly girls school. Here the story lost me with tales of older girls terrorizing the small children. I really disliked the 13 year old girl sexually teasing a 5 year old. At this point I gave it up and did not finish. I have really loved most of Irvings work but this one just lost me.

I will pass this on. Hopefully, someone else will appreciate it more.

I went to my first Bookcrossing meeting last night, and brought this book home. I have enjoyed a number of Irving's books, so I thought I would give it a try. Stay tuned! Thanks Pleasantread! It was nice to meet you last night!
