    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book! The writing is beautiful, captivating, funny, and heartbreaking. The characters are so very real, and the book draws you into its universe to a point where when you set the book down you may be surprised to find yourself on your couch with a dog at your feet and not in a lifeboat adrift in the Pacific with a Bengal tiger at your feet.<br/><br/>I would definitely read this book again. Highly recommended.<br/><br/>Edit: I originally gave this book 4 stars, but since then have not been able to get it out of my head. If it weren't loaned out to a friend right now, I can't promise that I wouldn't be re-reading it already. It was just that good. So, 5-stars it is.]]></body>
