I first read this when I was in my early 20s. It made a deep impression in me. One of those books that will always be on my "most favorite books" list. After "The World According to Garp" ... this is my next John Irving favorite. The book is better than the movie. Of course!

This was my first Irving. Given to me by a friend...at first I was going to read it just because it had been suggested to me but the more I read the more I really liked it. The end was a bit of a downer for me but all in all I really liked it. I've read many negative reviews about this one.

although I'm a big fan of John Irving, I just couldn't keep with this book.

I love reading all of John Irvings books, he has a delightful perspective on how his world works, they always make me laugh, and cry and feel like I am part of the story. Captivating.

I purchased this book because I loved 'The World According to Garp' and 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' (both by the same author), but never got around to reading it.
