"Loved it like I loved The World According to Garp. Anybody else ever confuse John Updike with John Irving from time to time? Whoops. Homer Wells is an orphan at St. Clouds, where Wilbur Larch is giving safe, illegal abortions to women and delivering unwanted babies. I still cannot say exactly where I stand on abortion - I waver back and forth. Of course, CHR makes a case for abortion rights based on incest, and an alternative of chemicals and coat hangers. Which is really the only case for it. But how can you make abortion legal only for victims of rape/incest or those who would do it whether it was legal or not? We don't want to hand out abortions like birth control pills. Anyways the story in itself was enjoyable, although I wanted Edna and Larch to hook up."

"I think it could have been better at the end - I'm not really one for books in which everyone has screwed up multiple lives by the end. Still, it made me think. Also, sort of a 2nd-generation-redeems-the-first if you like that sort of thing - like Star Wars and Wuthering Heights. Which I guess I DO like...I wonder why I didn't like this book more, maybe it was a bit boring. Also, by the end I REALLY liked the Melany character (I am not positive that is her name, but close to it) - whom I hated at the beginning. Also, abortion and the ethics of abortion are a major theme in this book."
