A review by bagpuss
Gould's Book of Fish by Richard Flanagan

2.0

Well, I finished it, but only because I swore years ago not to give up on a book ever again. This one became very tiresome

The edition I own is beautiful, probably one of the most beautiful books I've ever owned. The writing was of high quality. The plot/historical fiction/story/whatever it was seemed to become ever more disjointed and not long into the book the author seemed to be writing without any thought of what he was doing, just writing to keep going

I ended up very disappointed and was very glad to finish it. I dare say I missed the point
