The Tiny Wife by Andrew KaufmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hmm...I knew from Day-1 that I'd be tome-travelling a LOT this year but what I didn't know was I'd also be witnessing crime while on this journey! Yes, crime was what Canada was all about for me (at least while I was visiting it with Andrew Kaufman!)
'The Tiny Wife' is a beautiful modern day fable about a thief who steals something of sentimental value from people. It's funny, crazy, quirky and extremely interesting. In fact I was almost battling with myself while reading it about whether or not it is a five-star scorer. Well, to be honest, it nearly was except for the end which makes one feel that the author really wanted to finish the book maybe because he had something more important to do. Had the end been elaborate and had the end explained anything about why the robbery occurred in the first place, it would have been one TERRIFIC helluva story. However, because it was abrupt and gave me the feel that perhaps the author was bored with the concept himself, I docked off two stars.
Do I recommend it?
Well, I do mostly because it is fun and because the story-line is unique but if you're looking for something like 'The Little Prince', well, I wouldn't call it your cup of tea. A light, casual read is what it is!
