Anil's Ghost
by Michael Ondaatje
I liked it well enough.
Fast fast fast paced but unremarkable in the impact it had. I expected to be moved (torture, murder, disappearances) but I found that my (scant, but nonetheless) past reading of Sri Lanka made me wonder why Ondaatje said so much yet so little.
None of the characters were developed with any measure of effort. As another reviewer said, he seems to have sacrificed substance for style.
(I should just give it a 2, innit?)
