A review by merrybawz
Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish by Richard Flanagan
4.0
This is another book that I perhaps rated too soon or too harshly. This is one of those peculiar stories that waves from the back of your mind and says "yoo-hoo, remember me?" So much that happens in this book seems so random. It's just not your average story.
When I first read it I found the narrative arbitrary and without conclusion. However, when I think of it now, some 4 or 5 years later,I realise that this doesn't matter with this particular tale. It's far too absurd to warrant direction or purpose.
For those who like something a little more off the wall. It's well written, with intresting and peculiar characters that you will remember for a long time. Probably whether you want to or not.
