The Secret Lives of Sharks

February 22, 2015 by SavageCats 6 Comments

“A surprise is rarely a stranger, but a faceless patient who’s been reading across from you in the waiting room the entire time, his head hidden by a magazine but his orange socks in plain view, as well as his gold pocket watch and frayed trousers.”  Part 3, Chapter 35:  The Secret Garden I’m trying to decide if I liked this book.  There are aspects of it I loved, and aspects of it that were middling.  On the whole, the ending felt sudden and not […]
