    Why we think it’s a great listen: For 20 years, John Irving believed that his ambitious novel could never be adequately executed in audio – and then he met narrator Joe Barrett.... In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys - best friends - are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument.

    Story

    I loved it. The story unfolds slowly, and builds like a wave until it crashes on the beach at the very end. There were days I drove home listening to it with tears streaming down my face...and the Joe Barrett did a great job with the voices... highly recommend it.
