Summary
Fate takes many forms. . . .
 
When Henry receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist, it poses a puzzle that he cannot resist. As he is pulled further into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes increasingly involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey—named Beatrice and Virgil—and the epic journey they undertake together.

With all the spirit and originality that made Life of Pi so beloved, this brilliant new novel takes the reader on a haunting odyssey. On the way Martel asks profound questions about life and art, truth and deception, responsibility and complicity.

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!
