Title: Surprisingly good
Review: Winning the Man Booker prize was a slight turn-off for me, and of course there was the much-publicised improbability of a boy and a tiger marooned in a boat. However, out of curiosity, I downloaded the book before deciding on seeing the film. Thank heaven this is not a book written in the present tense - a stylistic trick I particularly hate. The way of introducing the first-person narrative reminds me of many novels of the late 19th century early 20th century. The prose flows easily and the unexpected amount of information on keeping animals in zoos retained my interest. The scenes on the ocean require a certain willing suspension of disbelief and I loved the plot twist. The ending is abrupt, but what else could the author do?
