Talk Healthy

Sorry for being so slow! Is there anyone else still working on it or shall we begin discussing?

I'm down to begin discussions. Anyone else?

I already read it. Let's chat 'er up!

First of all, I want to say I loved this book. I loved it so much I wanted to keep it! (I borrowed it from my dad, who hated it. Why did I give it back? Mainly because my mom hadn't read it and I would feel bad taking back a gift. Anyways, back on track.)

I loved it most while he was on the raft. I was constantly amazed by his ingenuity and bravery.

The part I liked least was the island. I'm not sure why - I guess I felt like it pushed it too far into fantasy land, vs the raft section which was quite believable.

Then the ending! Which story was true? It's up to us... but I like the one with the animals more.

The only part I didn't like was the description of the tree that ate people. (to put it simply, LOL) It creeped me out.

I like the tiger story too, Spudd. I prefer to think he wasn't imagining it.

When I'm walking downtown in Toronto, I always think "What would fall out if we turned the city upside down and shook it? Would there really be giraffes and monkeys that roamed through the city?"

Should we put spoiler in the heading?

I loved this book. I thought it was so imaginative. Which ending did you prefer? I liked the story he told, not the story that might have been true.
