Eleven-year-old Owen Meany, playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, hits a foul ball and kills his best friend's mother. Owen doesn't believe in accidents; he believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul is both extraordinary and terrifying. At moments a comic, self-deluded victim, but in the end the principal, tragic actor in a divine plan, Owen Meany is the most heartbreaking hero John Irving has yet created.
Sent as a RABCK! I hope you enjoy it!

There was a line in the book which I wanted to quote but I gave the book away without keeping a note of it. It was along the lines of "we live our lives full of expectation but the ending is always disappointing". Sorry but this is how I felt about this book.

Firstly this book seemed to take forever for me to read. I felt like it just went on and on. However, I did mostly like it. Some of it was a bit random and some of it was funny and some parts were sweet.
I finished reading this a month ago and still struggling to sum it up! So I'm gonna stop trying!

This is one of those books that you know you have heard of but are not so sure if you really want to read it. Well, we will see. I know I have not read it but whether I will or not is another story!
