Questions of life from two unusual friends' point of view. A bit drag
Questions of life from two unusual friends' point of view. A bit drag
A very unsatisfactory read. There was an unexpected plot twist towards the end, which seemed whimsical rather than logical.
"you are who you are, and then people project onto you some notion they have"
This only kind of went where I thought it was going. This is a short book, which is both a lighter read (no heavy plot points) and a heavy read (subject matter that makes you think).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I didn't care for this one at all. I thought it would be quirky enough to hold my interest, but just not for me. Lost me early on, and downhill from there.
1/2 way--see no plot, just lots of meandering and taxidermy
For me the premise of the story held very little value and was horribly self-indulgent, which is ironic considering the conversations the protagonist had with his publisher at the beginning...

Honestly I didn't think I was going to get through the first half but it came together for me in the second half. I am a bit stunned. I can't stop thinking about the Horrors. Is it good? Probably not worth it if you decide in the first hundred pages? Very strange.
I enjoyed Life of Pi. Last week I learned the word "hate-read," and it perfectly describes how I felt in 2012 when I read this. Martel is careless with the suffering he describes: it is cruel, yet pointless. This novel also features the most vapid twist ending.
