This was such a depressive read. No one was happy for more than a page or two... The last 20 pages were the only that were a little hopeful. I thought the characters were incredibly annoying - mostly the two male main characters. They really thought that the sun revolved around them, plus the way they thought about women, and the people in their life - disgusting. The good things about this book was that it was very readable and the topic and themes were very relevant and interesting, it definitely got me thinking about the environment and the bees.
