Courtenay's review
Hey! I've heard good things about Irving--have you read A Prayer for Owen Meany? I've been waiting to get an insider's take on the novel--i've heard mixed reviews :)
I did read it, and I don't remember it very clearly. I don't think Irving's ever written a bad book per se, but his earlier stuff is more quirky without being forced -- he got weird for weird's sake as he got older. "... Garp" is by far his best book.
