A review by mysimas
Man Tiger by Eka Kurniawan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
So, uh. I was expecting a story about a boy possessed by a tiger spirit. Instead, I got what feels like a rip-off of Chronicle of a Death Foretold. The only reason I finished Chronicle was because the idea felt novel, and also it is gorgeously written, prose-wise. Man Tiger doesn’t have either of these two advantages, just the downsides - misogyny, chaotic meandering, way too numerous and tragically uncurvaceous flat characters.

DNF at 20%.
