Bel Canto: A Novel by Ann Patchett
alicepotter, April 14, 2007
Absolutely wonderful book. It was so tragic, but left just enough hope at the end to make it so beautiful. Ann Patchett realistically portreys love in all of its many forms, making it very touching and profound. This book makes a person THINK. I would recommend this book to anyone.(11 of 19 readers found this comment helpful)
Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
alicepotter, April 14, 2007
I don't think I have ever read a more touching, well-written, all-around HUMAN book in my life. John Irving has an amazing ability to understand society. His political, religious, and social comments throughout the novel are very profound. I loved this book more than any that I have read in a long time; I felt like I actually knew and was friends with the characters. Although this book is set in the Vietnam-era, I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to think openly and in an unbiased way about the American lifestyle today. Wonderful story, wonderfully written.(13 of 20 readers found this comment helpful)
