Have you read A Prayer for Owen Meany? It's even better than Garp.
The Garp movie was good, but not as good as the book. A lot of stuff had to be left out, of course, so a lot of the more gritty emotional areas of the book were sort of glossed over and I think I would have been confused if I hadn't read the book first, but then, maybe it would have been more suspenseful if I hadn't :P
