Title: This Book Infuriated Me
Product review: A sentimental journey to what??? Fury? Anger? Incomprehension? The only reason I kept reading after the first half of the book was in the hopes that Timoleon Vieta would find someone better to love and care for him than Cockroft. Then I got sucked in by the poignant stories of the people he encountered on his ill-advised trip home. Just when I was starting to feel better about the book, it ended abruptly, violently and with me throwing the book across the room and refusing to touch it again (I made my husband put it in the trash for me). I, too, am an animal lover and hate the ending for that reason, like many of the other reviewers. This does not, however, take away from the strong feeling of deceit that lingers three days after finishing this book. I feel lured into a "sentimental" story only to be rewarded by a slap across the face. The ending ruined it for me. I'm still furious.
