Review title: Not Irving's best!
Product review: After being a dedicated Irving-fan for years, I was really looking forward to reading "Owen Meany". Boy, was I in for a dissapiontment! I struggled through the book. The dialogue and the story lacks all the tender warmth and compassion I feel the author must have felt when writing such excellent books as "Garp" and "Cider House Rules". "Owen Meany" is't a bad book, but from a writer like John Irving your standards get pretty high.
