Ah, well,
The World According to Garp was one of my favourite books, but I admit I wasn't so fond of
A Son of the Circus. Have you read any other books by John Irving? Some folk say
Cider House Rules is his best, but I didn't much like that either. I enjoyed
A Prayer for Owen Meany and, to be honest, it was the first book of his that I've wanted to re-read (though I haven't as yet - too many other books to get through
).
What turned you off with
Garp? (note, I'm
not going to disagree with you, or get defensive about it, I promise. I ask purely out of curiosity because, like with other "worst"s in this thread, it interests me most when people don't like books otherwise popular, or books that were my favourites).
Cheers,
Marc
