My Love Affair with Owen Meany
Pros: Where do i begin? Cons: Simon Birch, Simon Birch & Oh yes, Simon Birch!! A Prayer For Owen Meany: The New Hampshire Gospel
Pros: Lavish, rich, beautiful, horrifying, funny, completely convincing characters and compelling story Cons: None (Wow!) Bottom Line: Owen Meany vs. Simon Burch...a fight I'd like to see...Owen would kick his butt
Pros: ...just about everything. Cons: Minimal...see review. Bottom Line: I Pray John Irving Writes Another One This Good
Pros: An engaging read full of eccentric characters. Irving at his best. Cons: Even though it's long, it's too darned short! Bottom Line: "I AM AN INSTRUMENT OF GOD!"
Pros: Very well-written, fantastic characters Cons: Simon Birch A Must--Owen Meany is Magnificient
Pros: flawless story, lots of symbolism Cons: none As if you didn't hate Simon Birch enough already
Pros: Powerful, insightful, strong character, involving plot Cons: some relatively small structure problems A Prayer of Thanks...
Pros: wonderful writing, great, unforgettable characters Cons: It was only 600 pages Softens Even the Hardest of Stones
Pros: Sigh, just thinking of the book brings a sudden feeling of nostalgia... Cons: Looks can be decieving, as the boring cover may throw you off. |
