The Shipping News

The Shipping News - Annie Proulx Meh, the ending was all right (and I'm happy for Quoyle) but the rest of the book was just okay. Obviously, am not a big fan of it.I found the beginning to be quite choppy and took a bit getting use to. However, when you got into the pace, it's barely noticeable (only sometimes).At first, I also found the 'captions' technique used in describing certain awkward situations to be smirk worthy but after a while, it was getting annoying. Also, if Quoyle's hand goes up to his chin one more time, I'm about to slap it away.Oh and by the way, what colour is "...the color of oxblood shoe polish"? I get that it's some sort of red and Google has proven me close to the mark :p
