This is one of the best audiobooks I've ever heard. I recommend it very highly to anyone who enjoys well-written fiction.
The characters and events of this novel remain with me, to the extent that I'm re-reviewing it a year or so later.
The relationship between the little boys who are the book's main characters, and the insights of one of them, years later now that he's an adult, resonate with me. I'm not sure I can put into words what it was about this novel that drew me in and captivated my imagination, but I listened to it twice in a row, and it's still on mind much later. Very few other audiobooks in my 450-item library even come close.

This book will make you LOL as well as shed tears of sadness. Narrator is excellent. Get it. You won't regret it.

A great novel about a prophet, disciples and no greater love... An excellent tale of love and sacrifice

someone who loves garrison kieler. a reader doesn't need forward motion to be entertained

I think his narration was fine. the "squeaky" voice a little over the top, but a good narrator

It's a very powerful story. I think that I would have missed some subtleties if I had not read the book first.

Omg, I bought this book because the reviews are absolutely wonderful! I could barely get 3 hours into this. I mean... it's just boring, overly descriptive (which normally I like), the narrator didn't help matters. I mean I literally started thinking about other things while listening to the narrator drone on... based on the description I assumed i would love it as well. Not a winner for me.

Nope

Different narrator that's more upbeat.

Fantastic all round. Joe Barrett did a great job of narrating this. My third time getting through this book since I was a teenager (read it twice, listened once) and it only improves with time.

The interview with JI at the end of the book was interesting too.

I can't recommend this book enough

Wow. Everything about this book is fantastic. The story is gripping and touching. The narration is outstanding. Highly recommend.

I understand now why John Irving wouldn't allow them to use the name a prayer for Owen Meany in the movie.

While this is not my favorite from Irving ( that will always be "The Cider House Rules"), there is no denying he is a wonderful author, and the writing is just beautiful. Our regional theater is doing this on the stage, and I cannot wait to see how they accomplish that!
