Loving John Irving, I couldn't wait to read this book. It's a bit different from his other works, but still detailed, interesting and worth the time.

I love reading all of John Irvings books, he has a delightful perspective on how his world works, they always make me laugh, and cry and feel like I am part of the story. Captivating.
