Wow. A very well-crafted book. This is one of those books that you will remember forever. I think it is also a book that I would benefit by reading again. Knowing the whole story, I am sure there are MANY things one would notice on a second reading. I'm glad this book, though very long, was chosen for one of my book clubs. ...more

It's always a pleasure to find someone that can write about higher themes while still remembering that at bottom, most of us just really enjoy a good story. Owen jumps off the page from the outset and you can't help but be drawn into his world and ultimately his fate. ...more

Would that we all could look at life as practically as Owen Meany.
