Review: The High Mountains of Portugal

The High Mountains of Portugal by Yann Martel
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Apparently, I'll never know how this "part quest, part ghost story, part contemporary fable" and it was all about. I didn't find there "a road through the human soul". What I found was an extremely boring narrative about a hero I couldn't care less about that was droning on and on. Granted, I never made it past the first hundred pages. It's supposed to have three different stories and by some accounts the other two are better, but I don't have it in me to keep reading. The way this book is written makes me feel like I should turn away, kinda because it's impolite to stare.
