Arnab answers “I have been struggling with reading this...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Little, Big:

I have been struggling with reading this book for two years now. I just don't get it. It has been rated as one of the best 'fantasy' book ever and even one of the best 'sci-fi' books ever (according to the Guardian). But 100 pages in and all you get is a fish that 'might' be able to talk out in a pond somewhere. What is the appeal? I finally gave up reading it. Why the rage?

Arnab If that's all that you got out of reading the first 100 pages, then I suggest reading books with talking fish in them which get to the point quicker. …moreIf that's all that you got out of reading the first 100 pages, then I suggest reading books with talking fish in them which get to the point quicker.
