There is a limit to thinking about even a small piece of something monumental. You still see the shadow of the whole rearing up behind you, and you become lost in your thoughts in part from the panic of realizing the size of that imagined leviathan.
I ordered the beautiful edition with the boar on the cover and was delivered this neon pink abomination. That should be a crime.

I was recommended this by a friend who was into biology, and I can definitely say it was a worthy recommendation! I read it all in a handful of sittings over the course of twenty-four hours and this was because I could not put it down. Each revelation is followed by something even more tense and terrifying, and the ending leaves so much unanswered...leading nicely into a second and third book. An amazing read, all in all!

One of the characters uses hypnosis on the others, including a (ineffectual) command to kill themselves.ashleybakerwrites's review against another edition

I feel like the narrator is divisive for readers and I actually don't care. If you don't like her, kys. They are simply too weak for her. Now, the focus on her sexuality from the author? Strange choice. But the biologist is a god to me.
Also, the movie absolutely butchered this book. It kinda makes me mad but then again, there's no way they could've done it justice.
