I’m a little more than halfway through with The World According to Garp, and, so far, I am enjoying it. Despite being a long novel, the author’s writing style keeps it flowing and easy to read. The book isn’t necessarily very exciting, and is kind of just the story of the main character, Garp’s life – from beginning to end. There doesn’t really appear to be a climax or one specific important moment, but just the chain of events that make up his life. Every time something seemingly significant occurs, and it feels like the book could easily come to a close at that moment, the book just keeps going. I wonder if the end of the book will feel like a definite ending, or if it will just be like the rest of the book has been. Despite the somewhat anti-climactic nature of this book, I am liking reading, and am looking forward to finishing it, and am curious to see the movie that was made based on this book.
