It's like the Jungle Books. I love how Rudyard Kipling portrays India. It's all in how he describes it, you can feel the weight of the air and smell all the different smells that combine in the atmosphere. It kind of makes me want to go and visit, but during the time that Kim was set.
There are some things in the book that make me sad. I know that the characters are not real and that I shouldn't spend too much time worrying about them, but I still do. It makes me sad because the Tibetan lama is desperate to find the river that he is looking for, and he wants to live a good life. But I get the feeling that he isn't going to find the river and that he will be disappointed.
I worry less about Kim. I sense that he will adapt to whatever events the book throws at him. I just hope it turns out well, because sometimes characters like him don't meet a happy end, and so although I don't worry as much I still worry.
Maybe I should have titled this post, things that Kim makes me worry about.
