Review title: A Complex, Brilliant, Masterful Work
Product review: I classify my reading life into categories of before and after--before reading Owen Meany and after reading it. I qualify my deepest friendships by asking people to read this book. Those who "don't get what the big deal is" are relegated to the back of the address book!! I was riveted the first time I read it, and have read it four or five times since then, digging into subtleties such as Irving's references to armlessness throughout the book and laughing hysterically each time I come to the part about the maid dying. The end of the book haunts me still. Irving is one of my favorite authors, and this book is, without exception, the best I have ever read.
