[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seem to be in the minority here, but Owen Meaney was just not my kind of book. I haven't found any Irving book that I like, frankly. I long ago decided to that if I don't like the first third of a book that I don't have to finish it. I never finished Owen Meaney. I agree with Fahrenheit 451 and Rebecca. I also have very found memories of The Once and Future King by T.H. White.[/quote] I am the first Owen Meany poster from pages back. I read Owen Meaney (for the first time) many years ago, when it first came out. I was in the middle of a big John Irving phase. I still clearly recall the bookstore clerk looking me in the eye and saying, "you might have a hard time getting through this book, but please stick with it. All the weird, random stuff comes together in the most amazing ending, and it is totally worth the effort." I now pass on that advice to anyone who picks up the book.[/quote]
