Big Fish

I have come to realize that the last couple of fiction titles I have picked up have had the same underlying theme.  That theme is of course death or the concept of loss for an individual.  First off I did not like this book but I did like the metaphorical story telling process it used though out the story.  I like the concept of a son preparing to deal with the passing of his father.  I fully agree with the back cover of the book that this is very much in the style of Mark Twain but overall this book while making me feel nostalgic at the same time it left me feeling hollow.  I look forward to sitting down & watching the movie.  Hopefully I will have more an appreciation for the book through that much like I did with The Great Gatsby & A Princess of Mars.
