In this story, the bext and worst of John Irving's writing style is on display. His best: the ability to craft a story that melds personal biography, politics and faith. His worst: the tendency to meander and run on at various points in the story. Having not read any other works of John Irving, I cannot say whether the worst of this book is characteristic of the author's writing style or a representation of the workings of the story narrator's mind.
On the whole, "A Prayer For Owen Meany was an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience.
