Title: a book which makes you think
Review: Having been a reader of Irving for a long time, Cider House Rules srarted a real debate in me. He made the abortion issue at once heartrending, sad, and, strangely, very, very funny. Above all, I felt a compassion for the human spirit shining through all the way.It made me want to reach out to the poor women and comfort them. Homer is a very unlikely hero, but so lovable. What an amazing writer: I only hope the film does the book justice: the Garp film failed miserably. Read this book: it makes your previous prejudices about the abortion issue vanish like clouds before the sun.
