"I am not a fan of John Irving. He frequently rubs me the wrong way because he sacrifices authenticity and believability for symbolism and effect. I am a very character-driven reader and if I can't believe in a character I lose interest. I never did understand the point of this book. It wasn't terrible but it just didn't go anywhere interesting or meaningful."

"This novel, about two couples who swap partners & the unexpected consequences of doing so, was lightweight & very disappointing from the author of the wonderful Prayer for Owen Meany."

Surprise Disappointment by John Irving, May 20, 2009
By BelowParforIrving, Spring, Texas

"I found this book to be rather pointless. While I enjoy the satire of John Irving and have read several of his books, I found this one to be almost depressing which is not the norm for Irving. I actually wondered if Mr. Irving was taking a bit of a "mental Sabaticle" when he wrote this.

I don't like to write anything negative about John Irving as he is my very favorite author and I would love to someday meet him. I find him totally fascinating. His character development surpasses all other authors I have read.

The 158-Pound Marriage just fell short of my expectations for an author of Irving's caliber.

Suann Rose, Houston, TX"
