What a wonderful book for children! It is one of my most treasured books and makes Bible stories meaningful in the lives of young (3-10) children.

This book belongs in the pantheon of great American novels. I have a real soft spot for books about one's faith, and the epoch of American cultural domination (2nd half of 20th century), and this book covers both. This book is long, so it is really about several things: New Hampshire, The Vietnam War, faith, boarding school, family, passion or a lack thereof, you name it, but it is the part about faith that is the most interesting to me. Owen Meany is an abnormally small human being, who tops out at barely 5 feet tall. But inside this tiny body is a power born of fervency, intellect, and extreme, unbending, unquestionable faith. But if you know anything about the last 50 years of America, faith has been in an ever-dwindling supply. To me, this is the crux of the book, what happens when people lacking faith are intertwined with one whose level of certainty borders on the profane, and surpasses it according to some. As the book is not told in a chronological order, you know what happens to Owen far before the end of the book, but you don't know if Owen is actually prescient until the very end. It is a brilliant way of escaping the standard linearity of the novel, while leaving the big reveal right to the very end. Like so many great books, all of the sub-themes could be the stand-alone focus of a lesser, shorter book, but are simply intertwined among others here. The family dynamics of the dowager grandmother and her obsession with TV are wonderful. The author's description of the mother, as simultaneously erotic, chaste, and untouchable is superb, as is the description of the Nativity, Owen's fierce acting as the Ghost of Christmas future, and the lovely description of life in an elite New England boarding school and the epic battles held with the Head who is, of course, no match for the power of little Owen Meany.None of this even touches on the questions of a life basically un-lived, which is the narrator's curse. Is the narrator even alive, so empty is his life. His existence and life call into question what happens when you carefully avoid being passionate about, or committing to, anything. But all of themes are rightfully subsumed under the question of faith. Is Owen crazy or is he God's chosen instrument? What happens when people believe in miracles, perform them, or even embody them when the world around is no longer in a place where they are willing to believe?

One of the kind of books that you don't want to end. Hillenbrand is a gifted storyteller without being overly flowery. And this is a highly compelling, inspiring story.

This would really be a 3.5 star book for me. It is an interesting story about two teenage sisters in high society New York in the late 1800's. The characters were at times pretty snooty but it was a fun easy read. I'm excited to start the next in the series.

Another of my favorite Montgomery short story collections -- these stories delve into the supernatural and are especially vibrant in their break from the religious conservativism of the day. She never goes too crazy, but she isn't afraid to openly acknowledge darker elements that cannot be explained, whether she's literally telling tales of paranormal encounters or just featuring the darker side of human nature.

The first in the Merrily Watkins series and I really enjoyed it. Will be reading more of this series. Back Cover Blurb: The Revd Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish.....or a huge haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a strange seventeenth century clergyman accused of witchcraft.....a story that certain old established families would rather remained obscure. But this is Ledwardine, steeped in cider and secrets. A paradise of cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. And also - as Merrily and her teenage daughter discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.
