I don't say this lightly, but this may be the worst book ever written. I read through all of Twilight and Harry Potter and still think this book is the biggest pile of trash to ever exist. The story essentially follows the plot of Noah and the Ark, except things hit the wall when Timothy Findley doses a bit too much acid and starts the ramblings of a lunatic who needs to be medicated heavily. I would go as far to say that Timothy Findley should have been tried in court for this affront to writing. The only reason this book is ever taught in Canadian school is because Timothy Findley is from Canada; not any other real reason. I swear if I could erase this book from existence I would do so with righteous perseverance. This book takes longer to read than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and we all know how boring Tolkien can be. Timothy Findley takes the cake as he wrote a book so horribly constructed that it puts the read to sleep while saying aloud, "What the actual F." The book continues with the raping of a girl with a unicorn horn. That sentence alone should lead to an interesting read, however even something so freakishly weird is made uninteresting and not even the right level of unsettling that was most likely intended. I am ashamed this book is part of Canadian history and although I strongly oppose book burnings/banning books of any kind, I'd consider this book the only exception.
