“The Elephant’s Journey”


  • Novels translated into English always seem to be lacking something; in this case punctuation and paragraphing.
  • The storyline meandered, slowed, and then died. Literally.
  • When you read, your own biases cloud the story.
  • When you read, current events shadow how you interpret the story.
  • Monied, powerful people playing with people’s lives for their own amusement.


I’m not sure any of my feelings about this book are not without a great deal of prejudice. Try as I might to find a justification for the characters actions, and a happy ending, I could not. Disappointment. Confusion. Lack of empathy. Not the ending I wanted.
