I think I may need to re-read this book to fully understand it.

My least favorite so far, maybe I'm getting used to his awesomeness...

"Tienes que obsesionarte y mantener la obsesión. Y pasar de largo ante las ventanas abiertas."

Si de algo sabe John Irving es de obsesiones, toda su obra gira en torno a ellas. Con los mismos elementos construye siempre historias diferentes: en El hotel New Hampshire tenemos osos, Viena, luchadores y todo lo que forma ese universo propio.
La segunda parte de la novela se me ha hecho un poco pesada y hay una trama bastante perturbadora que me resulta completamente prescindible.

Gross!

I don't know why I tried. I invite all authors to imagine the possibility that women are people.

Irving does an amazing job of making you fall in love with all his characters. I think there is at least one member of the Berry family that everyone can identify with. He developed his characters so well, that I hardly noticed that nothing out of the ordinary happened until the last hundred pages or so.
