I love this! Sheila Eastman has written what might be my favourite book review. John Irving and his characters are challenge enough without having to slog through almost. 900 pages! To me, anything that length reflects pure vanity. It’s like listening to a non-stop talker blathering on.
I think she could be correct that, without his name attached, it probably wouldn’t have found a market. I am glad Sheila enjoyed 18% of it, though. That’s some small comfort for all her effort, and I hope someone takes her up on the offer to have her copy of her “ Last John Irving”, so it no longer sits on her shelf mocking her .
No doubt there will be others who praise “The Last Chairlift”. It will be interesting to hear the reasoning behind whatever positive reviews do come up.
