Though other authors can write wonderfully engrossing books with thick plots and unexpected twists, nobody can match John Irving for introducing you to real people and making you a part of their lives. I will never forget the time I spent with Homer, Melony, Dr. His ability to tell epic stories about rich, interesting characters is unrivaled in our time. John Irving is admittedly one of my favorite writers. If my great grandchildren are reading this book along with the works of Charles Dickens and John Steinbeck, I wouldn't be surprised. The story "The Cider House Rules" has the potential to go down in history as an all time classic.
This selection is well worth your time and money. I am amazed it was rated so high, as it should be banned for desecrating such a wonderful tale. And I did see the movie after listening to this. But they are told in such a way that they are neither repulsive nor shocking. The atrocities presented in this tale are numerous: class differences, prejudices, addictions, harsh realities of life all of them. I can only hope there is a place like this one for those who need it. Just because I do not agree with abortion doesn't mean I rule over you. I am pro-life, but I am also a nurse and need to offer all options. The subject sounds a bit more controversial, to be sure, than it is. I did not have trouble following who is who despite the large number of people introduced into the tale.
And if it weren't for the movie getting such high praise, I probably would not have read this one. I have not read anything of John Irving's before. Regardless, this was wonderful to listen to. Although the Cider House and their rules were significant to this story, the orphanage was much more central to its theme.
