As a John Irving fan I think that The Hotel New Hampshire is one of his best. Though flawed the characters are real and interesting. I hated to finish it.

First Sentence:
The summer my father bought the bear, none of us was born-we weren't even conceived: not Frank, the oldest; not Franny, the loudest; not me, the next; and not the youngest of us, Lilly and Egg.
