Mammoth

Mammoth

2005 • 265 pages

A fun light easy read about the deaths of species and people.

Didn't go where I expected and kind of felt like the journey of Mammut ended arbitrarily but still a good time, and Chris makes the “Mammoth narrator concept” easy to understand and follow on his journey.

I wanted more - a richer biography of even more events and people and places, maybe have the ‘present day' sections somehow add more complexity and depth to the overall story rather than functioning mainly as an enjoyable narrative device.

But if you read a novel and the complaint is you wanted more then it's done a good job I'd say.
