Book Reviews of The World According to Garp

Book Review: I loved it.
Summary: 5 Stars

I first read the World According to Garp about fifteen years ago. At the time I was about fourteen years old, and up to that time it was the thickest book I ever read. Since then I've read many books, but I have to say in all honesty that Garp was one of the most memorable books I've ever read. Ofcourse not all the characters all believable. But the way Irving tells the story really makes the novel. You simply don't want it to end. Irving has built an entire career as a writer based on the success of this book. If you choose to read it, you'll see why. I recommend to anybody that loves to read.
