I thought we'd discussed this once before. Anyways I'm reading it on advice of a friend and I'm not even into the book yet, but already, on page 53, I'm finding myself crying. This author is really amazing.

I started reading the book, I got 40 or 50 pages into it and it left me untouched and uninterested, I gave up on the book.

I loved this book doesnt get interesting fast though. It is about a boy who get marooned on a boat with a zebra with a broken leg, a hyena, an orangatan, and a tiger. Eventually the tiger eats everything but the boy and the boy has to survive. Such a good book i want to read it again.
