Judge Epithetical Books The Beast in the Jungle

I wasn't sure about this novella at first as it was just nothing like I expected and to me this wasn't a good thing. I wasn't entirely sure what was going on but a few pages in when the dialogue started upon the introduction of May Bartram I really started to understand the title of the book and the whole purpose - waiting for the 'beast' to pounce and in the meantime contemplating in what form the 'beast' will take. It was a short read, only taking me a couple of hours all in. I have to be

What a lovely little novella!Nothing I would expect with a title like this.Sometimes - many times - the true beasts lie within us. Impalpable, unconscious, but always somewhat tormenting.

I don't usually include the novellas or short stories I read in my Goodreads lists because they are not what one would strictly call a "book" (James' novella is about 50 pages long). But I couldn't help adding this gem here accompanied by a review which, I hope, will do justice to its repressed (homosexual) nuances that make the story one of the most interesting and gripping stories I ever read in the first place. Indeed, one of those stories to which one is to return again and again, almost

I had to read this for class. I usually don't enjoy this kind of "what's the meaning of life" books and this was no exception. I liked the fact that it was short and we found out the meaning and the "beast in the jungle" pretty quickly, but other than that this book just wasn't my cup of tea.

While James' style can be rigid and damn near petrified, he makes up for it with a wondrous portrait of psychological horror. showing us that one of the scariest monsters in the world is the one that resides within: the ego. this, a monster that feeds off of insecurity, self-doubt and an unyielding desire to be loved. this villian that lives within and can take innocuous yearnings (the desire to be unique) and transform them into beasts that lurk inside the jungle of the mind - waiting. the best

**** SPOILER ALERT **** (But please, before reading this review, invest the time in reading James's short story. You will be glad you did, regardless of whether you return to read the following)In one of the best reviews I've ever read of a piece of fiction (Note: any review, not just a Goodreads review), friend Aubrey pens in her opening thoughts on Infinite Jest: "Real life is a pain. Real life is a bitch." Note the double use of the word "real", for it isn't just life that is a pain and a

This is the stuff Greek tragedies are made of. Potent, beautiful and heart-breaking! This is a story about a man who lives in anticipation of something terrible that is to come, but when it happens he misses it. A woman, his best friend, warns him of it but it's too late. Could I see the ending? Yes, I most certainly could but somehow it didn't spoil the enjoyment of this story one bit.To a modern mind, The Beast In the Jungle might seem overblown, too emotional and not very convincing but
