Review title: One giggle for Owen Meany
Product review: I am taking the time to write this review because there are not enough negative reviews here. Readers, don't waste your time reading this book. I am loosing my faith in humanity to see this many readers who think highly (or deeply) of this superficial story. I decided to read this novel before any of the recent warnings were posted. As Dylan says..."it's alright,(John)...you just sort of wasted my precious time". Next time Mr. Irving wants to be clever maybe he could just cut out about one million words, and not cash in so blatantly on people who want to be obsessed with wallowing in the angst of the times, over and over and over, without getting anywhere. If a novel isn't great literature then it should be a mystery or a romance or a comedy. What was this? The pathetic narrator never had a prayer, never got one, and certainly didn't have a good one for Owen Meany, either.
