My favorite book
There are way too many good movies,foods,songs,musical artists,etc.to narrow down a favorite of each,but I recently finished what's become my absolute favorite book:A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.I've heard good things about this book and I've enjoyed other John Irving novels in the past,so I asked for Owen Meany for Christmas last year.I finally got around to starting it this summer,and about halfway through book,I decided it had potential to being my favorite book ever.Irving is consistently able to depict dynamic characters in such a way that makes them easy to imagine,easy to relate to and in some cases easy to fall in love with (figuratively,of course).If a book can make me wish it's characters were real people,it's got to be pretty good.
To me,Owen Meany is a perfect combination of spiritual,comical,political and heartbreaking.I actually took out a pen a few times and starred or underlined certain paragraphs that stood out to me like I used to do in English class.This book made me laugh out loud,flip the pages in eager anticipation and cry on an airplane as I finished the last several pages.I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good read.
