I like this novel and John Irving for what I hope are all the right reasons. However, it's good that Wallingford is presented as somewhat stupid because this is another novel where we're left with the impression that males are attracted to bossy, game-playing females. At the end, I was really hoping Wallingford would tell her,"Darling, I love you but if you don't cut the crap with the games and learn some manners I'm going to put on some weight, become less attractive, DUMP you then LOSE the weight!" but he never did. We really need more media that explains to women the reasons men dump them so they'll finally have a clue.
