john d gave it a10: Great read
Todd L gave it a9: A moving elegy of our existence which leads us to "do what we have to do" until the end.
Eva H gave it a6: Despite some beautiful passages on nostalgia for youth and joy, a dullish book with a fairly narrow, mean focus. Compare Marilynne Robinson's magnificent "Gilead", also about facing death.
Richard C gave it a9: He seems to have matured to the promise he showed in Goodbye Columbus but ignored in some of his other volumes. He's got to eat and he is forgiven. Everyman is excellent.
Huey gave it a10: Fantastic!
Reader X gave it a10: Terse, funny, and moving, this continues Roth's string of late-career amazements.
Anon gave it a4: Moribund writing mistaken for profound comment - the idea of the body as a husk is not an original point in itself, but their is little else to this flatly written piece filler. Existential angst has been better dealt with else and, perhaps more importantly, Roth seems to have abandoned narrative drive in the interests of creating an Everyman figure. This once wonderful writer seems to be running out of ideas.
