As for the audio version, what a joy it is to listen to a translation when the narrator is bilingual! To be able to stay immersed in the flow of the story without the distraction of out-of-context pronunciations (I'm looking at you, producers of the Bad Girls audio version) is almost as good as having access to the original.

This is such a masterpiece of thought on the concept of what can happen when people are too scared to stand up for fear of rocking the boat. It does require some suspension of disbelief in terms of just how far people can go in their loss of humanity while still "keeping their humanity". It really showcases the us vs them mentality and plays with the concept of how far do you extend your compassion? How far removed from your life and family are people willing and capable of caring? At a certain point do you have to just move on from the suffering certain groups endure? Evidently all the people who care more die, are killed, or kill themselves, so what does that say about who's left?
I think I could talk about this book for hours, which is such a shame because I cannot see anyone I know ever reading it, nor do I think I could realistically ask them to. I think this is one of those books that if you can't get through it, you just can't. No shame, it's a lot. okay also though, upon reading more reviews on different site, I think if you think this is a take solely on veganism(which sure was there, but like in no way way the main point, dig a lil deeper pls), then you have missed the point entirely. like look way up there, there it goes, over your head.
