A review by alexandraramz
The High Mountains of Portugal by Yann Martel
Did not finish book.
1.0
DNF after 50%, I just can’t sit through it anymore.
This book was just bad. I found the story telling to drag on and on, riddled with insignificant details that were overly descriptive and meaningless to the story. So much wasted potential on more interesting points. I read part one, which is 50% a description of how automobiles look and function in the early 1900s, 20% about this man’s body lice, and 30% the actual story. I barely got halfway through the second part, which is a completely different story, only vaguely related to the first. Reading this was not fun, and I didn’t want to waste any more time. Really disappointed because Life of Pi was so good.
