The way the chapters began in this book really grabs your attention. You will enjoy being with Xeno, Lena and Bruno as they mature. This book can be enjoyed on two levels, the superficial or for the ultimate beast that we encounter outside ourselves. The beasts of this life must be pursued rather than allowing them to pursue us. Xeno slays his beast in search of The Bestiary. We particularity enjoyed the use of historical events and personalities in this novel. Those facts gave the story more authenticity.

The Bestiary captures your interest and makes you wonder if you could find what Xeno is searching for in his journey. Discussion questions are available to help as you read it.
Our book club had a wonderful opportunity to have Mr Christopher call us during our monthly meeting (August, 2007)and visit with our group. We were able to ask questions and hear his responses. What an experience without leaving our home!
Is there a movie in the future?
