adrianwelsh 's review for:
The High Mountains of Portugal
by Yann Martel
My rating: 3.5 stars
Audiobook narrator [a:Mark Bramhall|2732716|Mark Bramhall|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] rating: 4 stars
This was a weird book. I had a hard time knowing what star value to give it. I decided on 3.5 stars and rounded up since there were many things I liked about this book but various things I did not necessarily like.
I liked reading about what it must have been like driving one of the really early automobiles (in 1904).
Even though this was not a religious book, and maybe it was even an anti-religious book, there are some interesting religion-overtones in this book and some good stories about Jesus and the writers of the Bible.
This book had three parts that took place in three different time periods but they are all related somehow. I enjoyed the second part the most but still found it awfully weird at the end. I suppose it might have been more of a ghost story than anything else, but still… odd…
In part one and part three, there were many long parts that I felt could have been removed to shorten the story some. But overall, I enjoyed the writing of this book and found most of it interesting.
The narrator did a decent job of changing his voice for different characters, especially characters with different nationalities.
