mattdube 's review for:
The Cat's Table
by Michael Ondaatje
This was a very good, very well written story, of a fictionalized Ondaatje and two eleven year and thirteen year old friends who are taking a boat from Ceylon to Britain and all the subterfuge and otherwise they encounter on that boat. It's a very light, very fun book until the last quarter or so. In the end, though, Ondaatje I think fell down when he decided to tie it all together in a way that felt pretty silly, at least to me. It was much too neat, and really detracted from the otherwise-charm of his story.
