What the Book is about

The Porpoise, written by Mark Haddon, is a story about an abused girl and the Ancient Greek-inspired fantasy that she dreams up to escape the pain of her reality.

My Review

My Rating: 3.5 / 5

What I liked:

Who would like reading this?

Lovers of Tragedy and Greek myths; and people who have the time to follow a twisting narrative.
