Have any of you read this book? (This question is directed at family members) I just finished it and thought it was amazing. I've never read anything like it before. I'll be delving further into Irving's repertoire.

Posted by: Mike LaMarr at May 6, 2004 07:29 PMI think A Widow For One Year is about as good as Garp. I tried to read another Irving book, A Prayer for Owen Meany, but I couldn't get into it and quit after about 75 pages. And I have heard from a couple of people now that the movie version of Garp is a real piece of crap. Oh yeah, this summer there will be a movie based on the first half of A Widow for One Year...it has Jeff Bridges in it and I believe it is called "The Door in the Floor". Not sure how good it will be, but the book was great.
