Book 17: The Rent Collector

This book is apparently a fictional account based on true events. I found some parts of it hard to believe, though it was a good read.


Sometimes I felt that the reasoning displayed by the illiterate garbage picker was so deep that it was hard to suspend my disbelief. However, there were some really lovely parts that seem like they were more likely the factual aspects of the story.

  1. I just finished this and it was much better than I expected. I notice that books like this often have a big awkward hole where God is supposed to be. I think the ancestors did a much better job filling it than "fate" or "the universe" generally does. It was a good story with pretty good writing. Glad I read it, thanks.
