A review by zoracious
Beatrice and Virgil, by Yann Martel

2.0

I feel that this was Martel's attempt at a [b:Slaughterhouse-Five|4981|Slaughterhouse-Five|Kurt Vonnegut|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337996187s/4981.jpg|1683562]-esque Holocaust novel. Like [b:Life of Pi|4214|Life of Pi|Yann Martel|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320562005s/4214.jpg|1392700], I couldn't stop reading, but it rubbed me the wrong way. It strikes me as disingenuous in a way that other novels of the same kind do not.
