so i knew a few people who read this book and they all said the same thing about it (the start is kind of boring, but just get threw it than it's a really good book), so I picked it up two days ago and decided to just read... took me two days to read it (finished a few hours ago) so i'm still thinking about it and shit, but i gotta say it was a very good book - a bit odd, but very good.

anyone else read it, and if so does anybody not like it?

Yeah a couple of my buddies read it, I finished it a while ago...it wasn't bad, but I have read better books before. I think I had high expectations for it since everyone told how amazing it was. Oh well...still pretty good, kind of strange though.

i read it a couple months ago. I didnt like it very much. The start was very boring and i thought the rest of the book was too slow too. Some parts were amazing but overall i didnt like it too much.

well i just thought it was sad when they found land and the tiger (i forget his name... mr. something..) ran off and left him there... idk i just thought it was. But the very end when he was talking with those japanese guys and he was telling his story and everything, that was sweet.

I read it a few weeks ago. I had to force myself to read the first hundred pages or so but after that it was a pretty good book. Everyone who I talked to who read it said it had an amazing ending so the end didn't quite meet my expectations. Worth a read though

It brings up some interesting points about what seperates us from being animals, and the roots of human nature.

No, mainly questions about religion.

My gf's mum suggested it to me... I might check it out.
From what I've heard, it reminds me of The Alchemist... Am I even remotely close?

A movie...? The book was good, but some there's going to be half a movie without much dialogue...
