Setting Free the Bears, John Irving

Setting Free the Bears was a struggle for me, and one I have given up on.
Itt is everything irritating about Irving's novels without the usual great story. It feels immature, the characters are a young man's idea of 'cool' young men, they are two dimensional and frankly irritating.
Part one was readable, part two quickly became political and silly. Not one for me. The copy I was reading had a great cover though.
