The Hotel New Hampshire

Customer Reviews

Vienna, a stuffed labrador, terrorists and incest. - By: , 24 Feb 1999
Well we're not talking John Irving at his very best here -if you're familiar with the rest of his output- nevertheless this is a very funny & highly original book. Master as always of the unlikely twist, every few pages Irving sends you a hundred miles away from where you would expect the plot logicallly to take you. Again Irving treats us to a generous dose of the objects of his obssesion: Vienna, wrestling (although this time around it takes the form of mere body building),prostitutes & bizarre sex. Garp offered us a foretaste of what was to come with "The pension Gritzpatrick"(excuse my German)which ended up evolving & taking the shape of New Hampshire. Overalll, as with any of Irving's books a good read but a far cry from his best work.
