Download Sabbath's Theater Audiobook (Unabridged)

" My favourite book in the whole wide world. No contest. "

" enjoyed the beginning more than the middle, but still liked it, think i like anything of roth. a little long winded, but never dull. "

" A little disturbing, but I had a hard time putting it down. Different from other books I've read by him. "

" This was my first Phillip Roth book. Sickened me but absolutely Loved it. "

" Il manuale di sopravvivenza di quel cinico, egoista e bastardo di Sabbath. In salsa tragicomica. Pornografico, grottesco e pieno d'amore. Dura la vita. Anche la morte. "

" Even more demented than Portnoy's Complaint. Absolutely brilliant in long stretches, particularly in the first half, but the last 100 pages or so are just okay. "

" Really didn't like it. Too much stream of conscious blah blah. Kind of a Gunter Grass, Tin Drum stylistic rip off. Also, I read Tin Drum first and maybe had too much of this style for the time. "

" this was the first one i read by roth, got it for like $5 in a bargain bin. i love it when great writers' books get tossed into bargain bins, because people would much rather have some chicken soup for the soul. anyway, it was the first of many roth books for me. "

" So dark it's illuminating. Puppets away. "

" Philip Roth's Irish novel . . . Yeats, and Beckett, and Joyce are the influential ghosts of this novel (and Drenka too, obviously). "

" you feel worse and worse until ... "

" The writing reminds me of Nabokov, but the end is less than satisfying. "

" This is my favorite novel ever. Angry, profane, hilarious and dirty, dirty dirty, it's also the most moving writing I've ever read. The last hundred pages are heartbreaking and the last line of the novel is a piece of evil brilliance. This is Roth at his best, which means writing at its best. "

" Loved his outrageous characters and unusual plot turns. "

" Roth, dude, go to therapy already. "

" I have read many of Roth's novels and liked most of them, but I could not read Sabbath's Theatre. There are glowing reviews with many proclaiming this possibly his best work. I will never find out why. I gave up after about 70 pages. I could go no further. "

" Goddamn. Fucking genius. This is the fourth novel by Roth I've read and by far the best. What's it about? Living. Death. Sex. Unexpected how such a character as Sabbath could be so penetrating. "

" The first Roth I've read. What a waste of good talent on a cliche character, i.e. dirty old man full of self pity, facing mortality. "

" This was my first Phillip Roth book. Sickened me but absolutely Loved it. "

" Well, it was a long time ago, but I recall the book seemed forced, not as if Roth had any personal stake in the narrative. Was it his SIXTH book ? Felt like he was, you know: trying to write a book. "

" The story is so poetic. I couldn't believe in the Drenka's voice.

It also got too long. I didn't really care about the protagonist.

The story reminds me of Catcher in the Rye and the Odyssey. "

" "I am sure that each of you has an unworthy mate-I am hers. I am Mickey Sabbath. Everything you have heard about me is true. Everything is destroyed and I have destroyed it. Hello, Rosie." "

" This book marked the beginning of Philip Roth's rejuvenation. Mickey Sabbath is not the most attractive character in fiction yet Roth portrays him with insight, depth and humanity. This is a fine, substantial, serious existential read. "

" My first attempt at Philip Roth...not really sure it's for me. "

" Sabbath is an odd, sad man. I didn't know if I would finish it or not-got pretty tired of him "

" Even more demented than Portnoy's Complaint. Absolutely brilliant in long stretches, particularly in the first half, but the last 100 pages or so are just okay. "

" An excellent book. Roth always captivates me with the development of his novel's characters. "

" I think this book probably deserves more than 2 stars, it's just that I am finally tired of Philip Roth and need a break. "

" Was Roth worried he was to shortly die or did he just have an erection? "
