One of Irving's early novels, this book kept me in stitches. I liked it.

absurd and humorous. your teenager should love it.
this was a really good book. typical irving.
Not my favorite John Irving, but I am glad I read it.
From the author of "The Cider House Rules" and "The World According to Garp" comes a novel filled with comedy, chaos, and sharp observation.
I'm a huge fan of John Irving's. This is his 2nd book, I believe-after Hotel New Hampshire.

Classic John Irving. Like World According to Garp features a thoroughly developed and fascinating character in Bogus Trumper.
