I read A Prayer for Owen Meany about 18 years ago and it is still the best fiction book I have ever read. It is a shame that it still has not been made into a suitable movie.

I have wanted to read a John Irving novel for a very long time but didn’t know which one to choose. Thanks for the review.

I’ve always wanted to read an Irving book, maybe I’ll start with this one.

Bonnie: I can see why this one is your favorite. I’ve been hearing people rave about this book for years and can’t believe it took me so long to read it!

I have read several books by John Irving, including Garp, and A Prayer for Owen Meany is my absolute favorite.

I know what you mean, Cheryl. I think part of the wonderfulness (is that a word?) of this book was how Irving weaves together all the little pieces for that stunning ending. Knowing how it ends in advance might take away some of the joy of reading it.

Framed: Irving definitely is not for everyone – but I really love his quirky characters. I agree – Owen Meany is a fantastic and memorable character. Glad you liked this one too.
