Pay attention here! I am Yann Martel. I am an Important Canadian Writer. If you don't appreciate my book it's because you are just a (bookseller/editor/historian/reader - select one) and don't understand what fine literature is all about. OK, so what do we have here? A flip book, cute idea joining two somewhat related books back-to-back; a play-within-a-novel (how novel!); a conversation between two characters out of Dante who are being played by animals (or is it the other way round?); a delusional taxidermist who thinks he's a playwright (really??) The only sane person here is Henry's long-suffering wife. I see that a number of readers have rated this book highly. Good for them but I beg to disagree. Sorry, but for my money this book is a fraud.
