Review title: The Boston Marathon of all Books
Product review: Boy, I wanted to like this book because I'd heard so many great things about it. I will probably be flamed for the rest of my life, but I had to use superhuman willpower to get through this book. It's taken nearly six months to push through this long-winded tome. I read voraciously and I simply could not get interested in this book until, quite literally, the last 20 pages, with the last five being riveting. That's one heck of a price to pay for the first 600 pages.To John Irving I respectfully award the "Get Over Yourself" award for his endless diatribes and digressions; to the character of Owen Meany I say, "All right already, we get the picture, just go and do something," and last but certainly not least to John Wheelwright, the narrator, "It's a great big world out there, even in Toronto. DO something! Get a life." And to Irving's editor, "You're paid to edit material, regardless of the author's name. So edit!"
