    I persevered and stuck it out and in the end I was glad I did
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2017*

I got this book as it seemed everyone was reading it and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about...I never read anything from Roth, so I wasn't accustomed to his style of writing, and i must say it took me a while to get into it. There were a couple of times when I wanted to give up, as I found it to be too slow for my liking. The author goes into details so much on certain chapters, that it distracted me from the story. However, I persevered and stuck it out and in the end I was glad I did, as I did like it. Most times I fall in love with books straight away, this one took longer for me, but it was worth it.

    Laboured writing.
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2018*

Sorry i wanted, as the subject interested me, to get on with this : but was unable to so do.As outlined in the review submitted on Amazon of "The Human Stain"  i struggle with the prose stile. Managing,with much effort to get to the end of "The Human Stain", tackling "American Pastoral",featuring the same laboured  prose was not going to happen! John Updike,on the other hand,  who,more or less,deals with the same territory i.e. contemporary America,  with his easy going poetic style, the antithesis of Roth,s,is a joy to read. Maybe i am,as Roth is highly acclaimed, missing something. I do side,which attracted him to me in the first place, Roth,s sympathy for the underdog. my criticism is, specifically,about his writing style.  Anyhow it,s undenyably a contrast in styles!: summed up,for me, as " laboured" for Roth. V. " a natural" for Updike.

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2020*

I'm new to the writing of Philip Roth. I came to American Pastoral after reading Sabath's Theatre. What appeals to me is the way characters are explored and revealed via their thoughts and actions. They are given a reality which draws a reader into their world. We go on the journey as willing and interested parties wanting to know how the Levovs deal with the totally unforseen and radical path taken by their daughter Merry. The soft underbelly of the seemingly solid American family fortress is exposed. I should think anybody wishing to look beneath the surface of modern American society would be interested in American Pastoral.
