This is the third book for my book club - an another whopper in terms of page numbers. Next month's one will be shorter. Hurrah! I didn't manage to finish this one before the meet up, but have since managed to finish it. I really enjoyed this book, and if I hadn't been so busy at work I can imagine that I would have sat down and devoured this really quickly. It's my first John Irving book and no doubt won't be the last. The book follows the story of Homer, an orphan and the doctor that delivered him. There are many elements of the book that really surprised me and challenged some of my own ideas. I enjoyed following the stories of different characters, and enjoyed coming back to various stories throughout the book. The only thing that threw me slightly was a sudden jump of 15 years.
