Rivetting and entertaining.
I heard this book mentioned on a BBC Book programme and I was intrigued. I bought a copy. It was almost unputdownable. It caught a wide range of emotions. It's quite a long book and can be taken in chunks.
Very highly recommended. Any more details will spoil it for the reader of this review.Read full review

Brilliant
The best book ever. Have bought this one as the other one I have is somewhat worn. I love John who tells the story and also Owen Meany. These characters stay with you long after the book has been read. My favourite book of all.
A beautiful story both funny and sad, full of wonderful characters. I particularly liked John's Grandma's kindness to Owen. Read full review

Carefully crafted
Long time since I read John Irving. Very descriptive and not exactly quick-paced. More a book to savour.
