rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author frwhiskey - In bed for weeks with an Achilles Tendon rupture, I truly loved the book "The World According to Garp", centered as it was on the life of a nurse, her illegitimate son, injuries, accidents and deaths all happening regularly but arbitrarily. The book...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - This movie is a great adaptation of John Irving’s novel of the same title - I read the book when I was very young, which now seems rather odd to me (guess I was a weird kid?) - I think I was like twelve.
