Cheryl: I don’t mind Irving’s ramblings…but I know a lot of readers did complain about the length of this one.

Thanks for popping over to my neglected blog. Glad to see so many people looking at and loving my favorite author, but I really wish his editor would man up. Some of Twisted River was just too much slog. It did make me want to reread some of his masterpieces though.

Trish: I envy you seeing John Irving! I would love to meet him…although I think I’d be WAY tongue-tied!

Teddy: Oh bummer…at least you got to hear him speak.

I wish I would have met him however, he didnèt do a signing after his presentation due to time constraints. I was bummed about that.

Bookshelf Monstrosity: I was worried about this one because I hoped I’d love it…and I was so happy I did. Irving fans (in general) should be happy with this one!

Jackie: Oh, I hope you’ll love Irving as I do. Garp is a terrific one to start with (I also recommend Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany as they are classic Irving novels).

Priscilla: I think some of his later novels were a bit of a disappointment (but it is hard to be great every time!). Widow for One Year was not my favorite Irving either. I think you’ll be happy with this one if you liked Owen Meany.

Kathy: As an Irving fan, you can’t miss this one!

Les: Oh, I am looking forward to your thoughts on Bridge of Sighs.

Michelle: Definitely pick up a copy…

Shona: Me too…don’t miss this one!

Arial: Twisted River reminds me a lot of Irving’s early work…hope you’ll like the book.

Kailana: I recommend starting with Cider House Rules, Owen Meany or Garp…all amazing books.

Teddy: I’d love to meet Irving…although I would probably trip all over my tongue since I am in such awe of him! Lucky you!
