Title: MARTEL IS A PLAGIARIZER!!!
Review: A lot of people aren't aware that Yann Martel stole the main idea for this book from Brazilian author Moacir Scliar, who back in 1981 wrote a fictional account of a Jewish boy escaping Nazi Germany in a ship with circus animals who ends up in a a raft with a jaguar. the book is called "Max e os Felinos" (Max and the Felines) and Scliar was too much of a gentleman to ever accept the insistent offers from countless lawyers who wanted to sue Martel over this. When confronted, Martel has admitted he used Scliar's oeuvre as inspiration, but like the good storyteller he is, came up with a rationale for why he doesn't think he plagiarized the Brazilian. As good as the book may be, you should ask yourself if you want to support this kind of unethical shenanigans before you buy it.http://www.amazon.com/Max-Cats-Moacyr-Scliar/dp/0452284538/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1361327178&sr;=8-1&keywords;=max+and+the+cats
