"In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys--best friends--are playing in a Little League baseball game in New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills his best friend's mother. Owen Meany believes he didn't hit the ball by accident. He believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after 1953 is extraordinary and terrifying. He is Irving's most heartbreaking hero."

5 out of 10

I tried, tried, tried to get into this without any success. I did make it a good way through but I think I might be too distracted at the moment to give it the attention it needs so I am admitting defeat!

I was feeling rather low this morning, as I've got a terrible cold, the weather is nasty and I have way too muchwork to do this weekend..... and then this book was waiting for me! Made my day so much better immediatly. I'm so excited, I've wanted to read this book for a long time now, thank you so much giving me the opportunity! :-) Since it is quite a long read I think I will leave it for the Easter holidays in a few weeks, because then I won't be distracted.

After that I might let it travel to yet another country so that it'll get around a bit :D
