By Mark, London, H9, The United Kingdom

"If, as I suspect, you have read and enjoyed Yann Martel's "The Life of Pi" as much as I did, then you will probably also enjoy "Self", his first novel.

Without giving too much away it is difficult to say much about the plot, which feels autiobiographical, to an extent but (as you will see) there are very well defined limits to just how autobiographical it can be.

I am certain that there are hidden depths that I couldn't quite fathom, regarding fractured consciousnesses and sexual politics, but I mainly enjoyed the uncomplicated style and effortless storytelling skills that are the hallmark of The Life of Pi."

"I read Life of Pi first and I went into this book expecting it to be just like it. It isn't. So I was not as thrilled with this book as I had hoped to be. Its far better to go in with no expectations."
