The novel version spends too much time on themes that are not as interesting or rewarding as the premise of the original short story.

This is one of the most moving books I'll ever read. It's masterfully poignant. It changes your perspective and tackles so many aspects of life and humanity. Please read this book. It's a masterpiece. Should be required reading.

"I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone."

incredibly thought-provoking AND heart-breaking; I wish the mouse had been in a bigger role but overall very interesting and an important read.

it was scary how he became possessive and aggressive and expressed his male sexuality and masculinity through those means after "gaining intelligence"

, really makes you think what should even be called intelligence and how easily we exclude emotions and kindness from it.
