Journal Entry 1 by Fireman from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada on Tuesday, June 25, 2002
Only Ondaatje could write a novel about a water-treatment plant and make it both mysterious and poetic! This is one of those books that people will either love or absolutely despise--I can't imagine a middle ground. As the precursor to The English Patient, In the Skin of a Lion is a must read for fans of the film, and for fans of his poetic prose, this is one of Ondaatje's finest works.

Released on Thursday, June 27, 2002 at Vancouver General Hospital--Emergency Room in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.

After a miserable evening being treated for heat sickness, I left this little book in the Doctor's work area! It made me feel better instantly.

Journal Entry 3 by madli from Mumbai, Maharashtra India on Wednesday, May 25, 2005
If you could believe this, found it while cleaning up my bookshelf. Since its a habit with my family members to pick up books often from bookshops, friends, libraries or pavement second hand booksellers, nobody could quite remember where it came from. It was when i checked up the journal entries here that i find it was released three years back in Canada. Right now, it's right here next to my keyboard waiting for me to read and release it. but i would sure like to know how it traveled from British Columbia, Canada to Bombay,India.
