Review title: I'm Glad I Didn't See Simon Birch First
Product review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a small boy (up to young man) with a very high-pitched voice who believes he was put on this earth to do good (he just doesn't know exactly what). That's Owen Meany.The story is narrated by Owen's best friend. The setting switches between past and present and holds several mysteries that are all solved by the end of the book.The story is sweet and maintains interest throughout. There is some political rambling about the Viet Nam "conflict," but I actually learned something from that, too.After reading the book, I watched "Simon Birch" as I was told that the movie was "inspired by" the book. The movie leaves out several interesting characters (most obvious is the omission of the narrator's punk rock cousin) and changes several important details. I am happy that I read the book first, because I truly enjoyed reading it, and if I had seen the movie first, I would not have read the book.
