If you liked Life of Pi, you’ll dig this one too.

I didn’t much care for Pi, and I didn’t care much for this one either.

However, I did like these:
”We don’t much like guilt, do we? We prefer to hide it, to forget it, to twist it and present it in a better light, to pass it on to others” (pg. 162).

“While Odo has mastered the simple human trick of making porridge, Peter has learned the difficult animals skill of doing nothing. He’s learned to unshackle himself from the race of time and contemplate time itself . . . It’s a lesson hard learned, just to sit there and be” (pg 300).

I thought the story intriguing enough. Just not my style.
