I loved "Life of Pi" but this book was just depressing. It is about an author helping an old man write a play that is metaphorically about the Holocaust. I listened to it all even though the first disk was terribly boring. The story becomes mysterious and pulls you in, but the end has an unexpected twist and the whole thing is just depressing. I'm not sure I understand the point of it.

This book was a huge disappointment after the life of Pi. I only made it an hour into the book before giving up. It's all about how he wrote a "flip book" and how his publishers hated it. The book is about how he wrote a book - it isn't actually a book! What a waste!
