Without a doubt the most emotionally stirring book I have ever read (I don't know what that says about me), It made me cry for an hour at least.
If you fancy yourself a diehard Atheist and have not read A Prayer for Owen Meany, you are untested.
If you fancy yourself a Christian and have not read A Prayer for Owen Meany, you are truly missing out on what I consider a modern vision of your faith.
This book is so full of subtleties, wit and insight, I fear it may be lost on many. Just remember as you read, everything is on purpose.

Don't be afraid. ;)

The fictional character and narrator of the book John Wheelwright was not a wrestler for the record. :P
