Title: This one will move you!
Review: This book is a roller-coaster ride of emotion. It will make you laugh and cry. John Irving has this uncanny way of taking you off your gaurd, and then shocking you with some enlightening tid bit. The main character is an orphan, and if you've read many of Irving's novels, this is no great surprise. However, this particular story of a monastic young man, and his growth into adulthood is inspiring. It lends hope to the hopeless and security to the insecure. It's plainly a good story... we need more of those.
