kona - I LOVE A Prayer For Owen Meany! I was babysitting as a teen, bored to death after the kids went to bed, and the book was sitting next to the couch. I was hooked after the first sentence (which in my head is 'I will always remember the boy with the broken voice, not because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in god.'. Whatever it was, that sentence totally hooked me.

[pandd]

So I just looked it up :
"I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice – not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother’s death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany."
That is a great book...

[kona]

pandd I'm so glad someone agrees! My wife tried to read it and hated it. I was drawn to it as well and have read it numerous times.
