Review title: John Irving and the complainer's novel
Product review: Irving's A Prayer For Owen Meany is all about a rambling, disgusted god who condemns the world and cannot tell man what is right. The new gospel's salvation is not based on loving your neighbor as you would love yourself, but instead focuses on venting the anger of mankind towards the current system by criticizing every thing it does without having the power to solve those problems. Basically, if a god condemns all the institutions of man, the victims of the world (who in the end extends to everyone in death) are assured that all of their problems originate from the current system and regime. Everyone eventually will be defeated by life, and it feels good to go kicking and screaming in protest like Owen instead of being silent like the Christ of the Bible. In short, it is a "feel good" novel, perhaps explaining why A Prayer for Owen Meany was #1 International Best Seller. Anybody who reads this book is a chronic complainer with nothing to do.
