AAmell’s Reviews > A Prayer for Owen Meany > Status Update

This book is interesting and exciting in the same way that mayonnaise is spicy.

The main character of this book is less interesting than mayo on white bread.

Mic drop.

Why do I abuse myself by reading coming of age novels? The depression it brings is so heavy.

“Now we’re the grown-ups we were in such a hurry to become.”

“As it was, things went from bad to worse, as they often will when amateurs are involved in an activity that they perform in bad temper- and in a hurry.”

"That is typical American policy: don't be clear, but be firm!"

Fina-fuckin-Ly it’s getting more interesting

“The White House, that whole criminal mob, those arrogant goons who see themselves as justified to operate above the law- they disgrace democracy by claiming that what they do they do for democracy! They should be in jail.”

My fingers are itching to write a review of this book. It's just one long character analysis. No central story at all. Jesus Christ this thing is boring. How is it this highly rated?
