I believe it to be a work of genius... because of its absolutely irrepressible flow of invention and suggestion, expressed in some of the most fascinating prose written in fiction today. Originality has distinguished all Mr Irving's books, but in A Prayer For Owen Meany it achieves a new pitch and a new profundity
Independent
May justly join the classic American list

Marvellously funny... What better entertainment is there than a serious book which makes you laugh?
Spectator
So extraordinary, so original, and so enriching
The Washington Post
A heartbreaking masterpiece of a novel... tremendously ambitious and fiendishly clever
Dominic Holland, Sunday Express
Intelligent, exhilarating and darkly comic Dickensian in scope. Quite stunning
Los Angeles Times
So extraordinary, so original, and so enriching
