Book Reviews of Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions
Book Review: I want to read it again. Now. (I just finished it.)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those books that when you finish you feel as if you've lost something very dear and you find yourself patting and holding it because you just don't want to let it go. It's very, very funny. I love the way that myth and the fantastic are embroidered into the language as artfully and comedically as they are by Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Louise Erdrich. The myths (and the relentless jokes) lighten and dance around and contrast the sad yearning of the main character's efforts to become (what he considers to be truly) intimate with his father. It is a wonderful book.
