I *detest* this book. Your review is 10,000X better.

I was not over fussed myself. I liked the idea behind it but would have preferred it without the over explanatory ending.
sorry in re-reading this I have only just noticed the 'homage' to the wizard of Oz; how did I miss that the first time. Wonderful
Your review made me remember actually reading the book and how disappointing an event it was when compared with the stupid hype that preceded its seeming ubiquity on best-seller lists. I'm changing my original rating as a consequence from three to two stars. Ingenious review.

I'm changing..."It was hype- tastic if i remember but I'm a bit slow off the mark and didn't read this till it was old news.
This is the sort of book that makes one long for half stars. I'd like to give it 1/2*. Preferable, of course, would be a little minus sign, or the ability to change stars to these dinguses:
I'm using the good reads app on my phone so can't see what image you've posted Richard but I'll assume safely that it is something rude ?

But for real, I enjoyed it a lot. It was fascinating to read about his experiences on the raft with Richard Parker only to find out later that (view spoiler)
