NemesisNemesis by Philip Roth

This started off well, and the writing was very descriptive; the tension and fear surrounding the Newark polio epidemic was atmospheric and drew me in.  Spoilers herein, read at your own risk. )

 I've read Philip Roth previously, The Plot Against America, and I didn't much care for it; I feel much the same about Nemesis, now that I've read it, and I wonder if it's the author's style I dislike.  I probably won't read another Roth novel, and I'm not sure I can recommend this to anyone.
