Book Reviews of And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks
Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 4 Stars
A very interesting and rarely used approach to the novel. Reading the work of two enormously famous writers from the days before they had even published a poem is a unique experience. All the stripped down glory of on the road with real sense of mystery. You know how it ends, but why does it get there? I wouldn't say this book is perfect, but I would still say it is very worth the read.
