At least, you can hear it. As would HAVE SAID CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW . Funny fact: the all-caps was to mimic how the Christ talk in some bible (I have heard) I read the book in my twenties, twice (which I barely do). Loved it, and still vividly remember a few scene (the Armadillo, and the finger cut). I can get why you are bored by the book. I dont get the " dislike this book so much" part. Except if the religious theme make you angry. But the theme is not apparent until the very end, and it stay pretty mild. I also loved and read this book in my twenties, which make me guess you're in your twenties, and we must all go through those books :) Fun fact: most of the poem are lies. Whitman was not were he said he was (not even close), at the time he said he was. I guess art is just elaborate lyingcan I not get annoying Owen Meany's voice out of my head.
