I LIKED THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP BUT A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY STARTS TO GET WAY TOO RELIGIOUS AND IRVING IS BECOMING TOO MUCH OF A BORN AGAIN IN MY OPINION. ALSO, THEY MADE A MOVIE OF IT CALLED THE MIGHTY WITH SHARON STONE AND APPARENTLY IT SUCKS.

I GOT TIRED OF THE BOOK AFTER ABOUT 100 PAGES. I REALLY LIKED THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP BUT THOUGHT OWEN MEANY WAS CRAP. THANKS FOR THE TIP ON THE MOVIE.

As somebody has mentioned, the movie based on Owen Meany is "Simon Birch"

I loved this book. A little heavy handed at times, but still excellent.

I read this book when I was like 16 I think, because my parents made me read it and write a report on it (I sucked at school). I liked it very much but I think it went over my head.
