Title: Simply Brilliant
Review: This book transformed my way of thinking. I have always thought of John Irving as one of the most fascinating writers of our time. He simply describes everything! I truly enjoyed the "Cider House Rules" everything about it kept me pining for more.The character Homer Wells as well as the Doctor who saved his life was the most interesting. Homer's simple desire to feel love and wanted transcends everything around him. He chooses early on to not allow this to become a catalyst in his life. But finds minute ways to offer a minimal existence in the arms of the woman that he loves.In all good novels it is a pity when the story fails to end in the way in which you would expect. However, when I ask myself the question as to whether this was one of Irving's best works I would still have to give a resounding YES! Just like in his other novel "The World According to Garp" . . . Irving leaves his readers just craving for more.
