TIMBUKTU
The book I read was Timbuktu written by Paul Auster. This book was a wonderful fictional story about a homeless man and his canine companion of many years. The story is through the dog's perspective, which is what made the book so interesting. William Gurevitch who later in the book changed his name to William G. Christmas was a brilliant yet crazy man who lived in Brooklyn. He changed his name because of his obsession with Santa Claus after a weird experience one night. William was terminally ill and wanted to find his loyal dog, Mr. Bones, a good home. In order to do this, William and Mr. Bones venture off for Baltimore where William's old English teacher lived. She always believed in Willy, and Willy thought that she would take good care of his one and only friend. Mr. Bones is a very brilliant dog just like his owner that has a certain connection to people. Mr. Bones faces many problems throughout the story, but his strong spirit can pull him through. In the end Mr. Bones makes a very important decision. This book was very interesting, entertaining, and amusing. It was so interesting because unlike so many other books, Timbuktu was told through Mr. Bone's eyes. Also, this book was very entertaining because although very smart, Mr. Christmas was quite hilarious with his crazy hallucinations. This book has definitely affected me because it has taught me many things. It has shown me how precious family is because William had no family and lived out his days just with his dog. I always though Willy was lonely and when he needed someone to take care of Mr. Bones, no one was there for him. Also this book has affected me because it shows how you should follow your heart. In the end, Mr. Bones does something that I think took a lot of courage even if it was not what Willy wanted him to do. I really enjoyed reading this book. I never wanted to put it down. Sometimes the wrong thing to do is the right thing and this book is evidence of that. This book would be a great read for animal lovers, but I would recommend it to anyone!
