This is a heartbreaking story--fictional, but told with a lot of truth. For me, it started somewhat slowly, then picked up to become a real page-turner.

I often say about humans, "We are a despicable species." After reading this book, my feelings have not changed.

I am so glad I didn't read what it is about first. Came as a wee bit of a shock and I loved every minute of it.

In many ways, I loved this book. The story is intriguing while still staying mysterious for a time, and unfolds at just the right pace to have kept my interest. The family dynamics are handled well, and it is actually a truly entertaining story with a powerful positive message behind it. But then, I tend to like books written in unusual out of order fashions, as long as the story can sustain such a twist. At the same time, I know a lot of people will have issues with it, as the timeline is made harder to follow. So, I thought it was only fair to warn you. Outside of that, if you have even a passing sympathy for animal rights, this is a worthwhile read with a unique enough twist to have pulled me in quite quickly, except that the back cover spoils it.
