Michael Ondaatje is one of my favorite authors. When I saw this (new-ish) book on the shelves at the bookstore last month I was excited and this book did not let me down. It was excellently written and I had problems tearing myself away. The ending was good but a bit disappointing as I felt it left us hanging a bit. But, that type of ending makes you use your imagination, which is always a good thing :)
