A Tiger In Eden

It is not very often that opinion at our "Slim Tomes" Book Club is unanimous.  This book prompted one of those rare occasions.  We all disliked it.  I found the main character annoying, the "transformation" unconvincing and the conclusion fulfilling.  Flynn played with lofty ideas but his superficial treatment of grief, remorse and the desire to start anew was so badly done that it was annoying.  Overall a banal book that did not even redeem itself with the humor promised by the reviews on the cover.  The only good thing - it was a short little book and a quick, easy read, so it did not waste much of my time.  I don't think I will be reaching for a Chris Flynn book again anytime soon.
