Picked this one up in Kluang when I was last in town and have been reading and re-reading these short pieces ever since. There's some beautiful stuff here, all very accessible and with a bit of local lingo to ease the foreign reader into the Malaysian mindset... highly recommended!(less)

After reading through the beginning of the story and genuinely finding the narrator an incredibly vile and loathesome creature, I reached the end of this tale to find that the whole story had been a gigantic waste of time, just like the protagonist!
However, that said, this is a powerful tale that reads like a mythic journey and there are some redeeming qualities about the knowledge and care presented in terms of perfume. However, this is not an uplifting, pleasant or particularly entertaining tale and I would not want to inflict it upon anyone else. (less) " |

I'm amazed with some of the striking parallels between Roy Allen's story and my dad's - 8th Air Force, B-17s, the resistance in Northern France, captured in Paris, a stint in Fresnes Prison, Stalag Luft III, the "Death March", Moosburg...thanks to Prof. Childers' love of historic fact/detail, I'm gleaning many interesting factoids/points that would normally take me quite a bit of research time!! My only criticism for the lay reader (ie someone not fluent in both German and French) is that there are quite a few untranslated phrases peppered throughout the text.
[Thank God for degrees in Französisch und/et Allemand!! :-)](less) " |

Not a bad time-travel book, definately hooked me from the beginning. The author sacrificed plausibility for advancing the storyline. But once you suspend disbelief it is a very enjoyable book. If you liked this you will probably love Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card.(less)

Freshly into college, just tipping my toes into the sea of adulthood and I worked on this story over a series of lunches at a job that I hated. The story itself neither held me close, nor put me far away. But I cannot get it out of my head even now. The intensity of the situation with Pi and the Tiger and the philosophical as well as moral questions raised by the story are intense. Good read. Especially for those who have a thought to baser human nature versus the wild. (less) " |
