A Prayer for Owen Meany/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: More people have heard of The Movie, Simon Birch, which is pretty good in its own right.
 * Complete Monster: Dick Jarvits.
 * Genius Bonus: Over and over and over.
 * Narm: The death of is somewhat undermined by the fact that she was killed by a stray baseball. This is not helped by the text, which describes her as spinning around from the impact of the ball, giving the impression of a Looney Toons cartoon.
 * Shout Out: To everything from Great Expectations to Jude the Obscure.
 * Tear Jerker: "The Shot."
