 I absolutely loved this book. This was a book that kept me enthralled throughout, and made me think for a long time afterward. Outstanding. This book is the standard by which I judge all other books. Alas, I fear there will never be another Owen Meany.

 Good, makes me want to read more by John Irving, but very very long. He could have cut out 200 pages with no effect to enjoyment and plot.

 Pretty specactular. A hard read. Which to me is - a book that i have to read really slow, and go back and re-read some portions. but then again, i'm OLD lol. Just an awesome book - one of a kind.

 I read this one about once or twice a year. It makes me run the full spectrum of emotions. I've heard people say that John Irving is too wordy, but I love it.
