John Irving, 1989

Date read: 3/31/25

In some ways, this novel reminded me of the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. The foreshadowing is impeccable, the writing is perfect, the story is amazing. All around an excellent novel. Not only is it a classic, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Amazing. I can't say enough.
