I liked this more than his newer work. I did figure out part of the mystery part-way through, but unlike with other works, it didn't annoy me that I did so.

I just listened to the audio for this book as a re-read, and I am fascinated by the fact that I couldn't tell that this was a Christian allegory when I was child. Where was I?

I agree with Deanna's review wholeheartedly!



I want Hilary to finish this book so we can talk about it because I have FEELINGS.

This is a big step outside my comfort zone. I survived reading it. I'm not sure I would say I liked it. There were beautiful true moments and moments of utter boredom. Perhaps that was what Wallace intended, and if so, this is a masterpiece.

SO GOOD. I will be disappointed if it doesn't make the MSBA list next year.

I want to look at the print version of this book, because there were a lot of pirates I wanted to find out more about!
