I just started A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. I love most of Irving's novels, but have never read this one. It's about a little boy (Owen) who is really tiny and always picked on by other kids. He has a great spirit that keeps him from telling on all the other kids. So far it seems as if the narrator is telling the story of his friendship with Owen and how Owen becomes a hero.
I saw the movie Simon Birch a few years ago. It is supposed to be based off of the Prayer for Owen Meany novel. I really only remember the beginning and end of the movie, so even if those are the same as the book, the middle will be a surprise. And I do remember that the movie was incredibly sad.
