Title: maybe not the best, but still a great Irving novel
Product review: What makes John Irving my favorite author is how his characters embody the best and worst of humanity. They could truly be real people; some of them you wish you could meet, others you're glad are not alive (but you're aware there are people out there like them). "Until I Find You" exposes an issue (sexual abuse) that is very real and does happen to people, much like "The Cider House Rules" speaks of abortion. And while this is only a novel, and should be read that way, I do think that people need to be aware of the power our choices have on not only our own lives, but others as well. It is a long book, but just like the other John Irving novels I own and have read, I couldn't put it down until I finished it...even though there are sections I would rather roll my eyes at. I agree with another reviewer that this is probably not the novel to begin with. "A Prayer for Owen Meany" might be a bette choice, a warm up, if you will.
