I thought this was a pretty good read, but to be honest, I fail to understand what all the hype is about, or why this book had to win the booker. I've defnitly read better.

Another book that i've never read, probably not even noticed without bookcrossing.
It was a welcome change to my normal mystery/sci-fi/fantasy mix of fiction that i read. It took me a bit to get into it, and i must admit that the story was written with enough wit and fun that i kept on reading, even though i never really felt "into" the story.
I have to agree with Silkina, i cannot see what the hype is about, nonetheless it was an intersting read.

I´ve been waiting to read this book and finally I got it!
The story of Piscine Molitor Patel and his journey from India to Canada: on a lifeboat bobbing over the Pacific Ocean, accompanied by a tiger.
It´s a fantastic story, beautifully written and funny!!!I just loved it.

Well, a nice read, no more and no less. It's not that I did not like the story and style but I could not quite get into it. I am glad though I had the chance to hop on this bookring, as bookrings are always bringing a shift into my reading habits.
sunisunny, watch out, this book will be in your mail in a couple of days!
