A review by oregon_small_fry
The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux
3.0
Brandon told me that this book had changed his life, so he let me borrow his copy that had things underlined and notes and such and I felt like I totally invaded his privacy. it gave me the creeps.
But the book its self- some parts were really well written and exciting. other parts lame. Yes, the message was good. yada yada.
It reminded me to much of the Poisonwood Bible and I would take that book anyday over this. A crazy dad who drags his family out into the jungle to save them (or their souls) and trys to change the nature of the local people around him and it can't be done.
I have a feeling Theroux will contuine to be around in the future, as he writes outdoor adventure travel books. wooo hooo.
