The Ghost Writer by Phillip Roth

A lot what I would say about the book doesn't belong out in the open (Internet). I enjoyed discussing it with my book club a lot.
The book is packed with hidden, and discovering it can feel like a job. Missing the hidden parts will make this a 'meh' read.

I have to say that I found the book excellent for discussion. I found so much depth in it, I felt if I was to re-read it (which I won't), I would find even more stuff buried in there. But others didn't react to it in the same way. They felt it was a drag to read, not easy to understand, not so interesting.
So, read it - if you like finding depth somewhere were most people find boredom.
