Book Review: Fantastic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this book is about a sheep farmer in Iceland around the beginning of the century, I was hooked from the begining. What it lacks in plot, it more than makes up for in characters, satire, and tragedy. If you like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this Nobel Prize winner is for you.
