teerah 's review for:
The Cat's Table
by Michael Ondaatje
Ondaatje once again proves that he has a sophisticated command of the English language, but the story falls apart by the end. The first 3 quarters of the book are engaging and seem to build up to something, but it seems like he ran out of space by the end and cobbled together an ending that neither resolves nor clarifies anything. I wish there had been more character development, and that he had flushed out the motif of the ship as a living organism that affects the characters' circumstances and behaviours.
Still a good read, even if just for the language alone.
