I - The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving.
4 stars
If you like John Irving, I think this is one of his better ones. Nothing really compares to The World According to Garp or A Prayer for Owen Meany, but I think this is my third favourite of all of the novels I've read of his. Now if you hate John Irving, I don't think this book is gonna make you like him. Haha.
