No, but I have enjoyed other books by him. Sounds awfully long through.

I find Irving’s writing impossible to read. Why not find a plot summary online and stop reading the book. Life is too short and there are too many readable books out there, waiting.

@lynneblundell I think you will find the end justifies the means.

ok…finished!. so… i was pleasantly surprised…the book seemed to pick up in the last 200 pages.. the lovely wry humour that i so loved in Owen Meany reared it’s comical head and the tender bitter-sweetness of the denouement was believable and moving… but i was still left feeling rather sad and disappointed about the whole story… but i guess that herein lies the sorrow; that stories like this do happen and are very sad
