![]() The book is written by a member of that class of people who are my least favourite a religious person who cannot conceive of someone not being religious. I was a little annoyed when I found out that the person the book is dedicated to had also written a story about a man in a boat with a wild cat and had considered suing for plagiarism. Apparently, when Yann Martel wrote this he was feeling a bit down and this was his way of plucking himself up. I’m going to have to assume you have read this book, as if I don’t I won’t be able to say anything about it at all. So, being told a book is a winner of the Booker tends to be a mark against it from the start, unfortunately. The only Carey I haven’t liked won the Booker ( Oscar and Lucinda), I really didn’t like the little bit of Vernon God Little I read and I never finished The Sea despite really liking Banville’s writing. I tend to avoid the winners of the Man / Booker – they make me a little depressed. ![]() I found a lot of this book incredibly tedious. ![]()
