Jennifer Ford’s Reviews > A Prayer for Owen Meany > Status Update

It was hard for me to stick with this immensely long book during the first half. That’s because it is more of a coming-of-age book, when I was in the mood for something more dramatic, but I’m glad I stuck with it. All the backstory that I first took as meaningless rambling is all starting to come together. I still have 132 pages left to go and I’m excited to see how Owen and John’s story ends.

I’m slowly trudging through this 1,126 page book. I’ve wanted to quit so many times, but I continue on because it has such amazing reviews. It’s not bad, just not the right read for me at this time, but I know if I quit, I’ll never return to it.
