i'm only about 1/2 way through, haven't read it for a few weeks so have lost gist of the story... i was really drawn to it when i was reading; just got busy and havne't had the chance.
he's not yet even on the boat with the tiger. last thing i remember was his dad scaring him with the tiger in the cage, and feeding the tiger food. i'm sure there was more after that but thats the last image i can remember from the book. will post to this thread when i pick up the book again
