Having read this book myself, I can appreciate your view, although I find that it is somewhat more hypnotic, disturbing and entrancing than you have outlined. I certainly agree about M&#39;s relationshop with the tiger, and your parting comment of him being the only one who is actually able to hunt it; he has some instincts that are born of his own upbringing and the beast he seems to become when he hunts. Yet at the same time, particularly in the beginning, he is cold, machine-like, calculating. And you mentioned a change in character - yes, to a certain extent, but his cold counternance seems to be a facade or anonymity behind which to hide, and his associations with the family hurt him as he begins to become a more positive and friendly character so much that he withdraws again ntil he has regressed to such a point as to contemplate muder. So has he really changed? <br /><br />Anyway, I agree with nearly everything you have written, thanks for the review and different opinions and perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
