I thought it was well written but just a middling review from me. It meandered a little long for my taste and without a particular payoff.

Based on Kevin’s comments, I probably liked it a little more than he did.

Come to think of it, it was before the rise of online book buying for me too. Some enterprising local bookseller must have had it!
I’ve been to Vietnam, including Da Nang, so I’m finding it very interesting.

The Time In Between is one of my least favorite winners, I must admit, and the shortlist in 2005 was quite weak. I do remember it, however, so maybe it was better than I thought it was when I read it. I’ll look forward to hearing what you think of it.

BTW I’m currently reading a Giller Prize from 2005: The Time in Between. I probably bought that one after you or Trevor reviewed it for the Shadow Giller!
