Just finished this today. My oh my, Mr. Irving the Story Guru. I'm in the middle of a story myself, and if I could find the last sentence to mine like John Irving does to his, I'd stop. This is another example of a great movie that doesn't even get close the the greatness of it's inspiration. John did not drift once too far off the fun stuff here, quite a feat for 587 pages.
Once he gets you hooked on the players, he plays them all like the conductor of an orchestra. I can only dream of myself finding a way to weave tales like this. Fearless love. Fearless craziness. Irving is the bravest man I know. You want to have a great book in your hands? pick this one up.
