Humor en een zoektocht, zowel naar zichzelf als naar de herkomst van een bizar beeldje. De hoofdpersoon is sympathiek van begin tot eind. Een mooie coming of age novel. ( ) Art, sex and world travel combine within this rather surreal story. While I thought the 'voice' of the protagonist was fantastically written, I found myself waiting for the end in the last quarter - perhaps it lost something along the way. Recommended as something which 'breaks the norms', will cause a few giggles and give you something to talk about. A great read! I got suckered in my its fun title (sea otters are so cool) and hypnotised by its silver glittery cover. Next thing I know, I was unwrapping it at home, thinking "why did I buy this??" But I gave it a go, and I'm glad I did! An amusing, sad, fascinating road trip of a book about growing up, art, family, and (since our protagonist is a teenage boy), sex. He is, quite frankly, obsessed with sex. Are all teenage boys?? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Sixteen-year-old Felix is bored and stressed. He's stressed about his 'A' Level results, stressed about working for that mad old bag Mrs Pretzel, stressed about what the future holds. He's also feeling mighty guilty about the possibly fatal combination of laxatives and scrabble tile (Z, ten points) he fed to Mrs P's spaniel, Vespasian. But it's not the stress or the guilt that initiates the bizarre quest that takes him half way around the world on a stolen debit card - it's curiosity. Felix is very curious about a statue he finds in the permanent clearance sale at 'The House of Crap' - a statue depicting a fat man and a sea otter in sexual congress.Sea Otters Gambolling in the Wild, Wild Surf is the story of where Felix's curiosity takes him, to Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco; on a journey that challenges his preconceptions about the world, his plans for the future and his relationships with his family. Will he get home before his little sister discovers what he's up to? What'll happen to Vespasian? Will he get the passes he needs to get into University?Whatever!
