Title: Spirtitual and religious mumbo-jumbo misrepresented as adventure fiction!
Review: Don't believe the hype on this one!Unless you are looking for a philosphical or spritual awakening this is not the novel to read. It is incorrectly marketed as an adventure in the Robert Louis Stevenson or "Old Man and the Sea" tradition. Supposedly, the adventure involves an 8-year-old Indian boy trapped on the lifeboat from a downed ship where the only inhabitants are himself, an orangutang, zebra, hyena and a tiger. Pretty soon, there is only the boy and tiger remaining.What should have been the premise for a highly unique high-seas adventure qucikly devolves into a spirtiual parable where the story the boy tells upon rescue may not even be the truth but a mere symbolic retelling of his search for God. The boat sinking doesn't even take place until 120 pages into the novel.Well written -but dull and ending abrubptly and in a quite unsatisfying manner.
