Able to tell people about how comically bad it is The book is about two young strangers who meet on a long train ride the narrator of the story actually spends most of the novel listening as his traveling companion tells an elaborate story within the story about the reasons he is on this train fleeing Munich for Berlin The traveling companion reminds me a lot like the narrator from The Perks of Being a Wallflower a wide eyed observer who feels and sees and talks about too much He talks about hanging around with his two older friends
much He talks about hanging around with his two older friends of whom have extreme psychological issues and his tale culminates with the extremely large male violently attacking the frail anorexic female sending the boy fleeing for Berlin The whole book is written in short choppy sentences that are tiresome by page one and I have to agree with "the review that calls the book aggressively boring "review that calls the book aggressively boring anyone asks me what the worst book I ve read all year is I ll have the answer ready Weird I loved it Weird short strange I am baffled by the title I m actually somewhat baffled by the whole thing The theme I suppose is young men seeking something desperate from women How young men think a love affair will fix everything An interesting read but somewhat shallow Nowhere as deep as it pretends to be Still enjoyable enough I suppose A perplexing read as deep as it pretends to be Still enjoyable enough I suppose A perplexing read stars off delightfully about travellers connecting on a train ourney and gradually sinks into despair as the themes get darker Th But I ust want you to know that I won t be forgetting this train ride anytime soon For me it was the weirdest train ride ever You can bet I ll be telling people about it foreverNever has a character uttered a truer sentence. He finally reveals to his unsuspecting traveling companion goes into the darkest sphere of human behavior Shocking and raw The Bird is a Raven is the work of a writer at the beginning of a stellar career From the Trade Paperback edition.
