Yann Martel

Such a good writer but such strange stories.

Hard to know how to rate this; my reaction is complicated. The first part seemed to me like a too-long, boring introduction. The middle was a muddle. The last part was horrifying and gripping and powerful.

Did not like this so much. I'm surprised since I really enjoyed The Life of Pi. It felt like the author was trying to hard to be abstract or obscure. There was not enough interesting in the way of plot, character development or the use of language to hold my interest. I finally did speed reading to the end where I was so disappointed that the body of the book had so little to do with the ending.

loved this book . Immediately wanted someone to talk to about whether the tiger was the one doing the eating or not. Really a great read
