The audiobook was great. The changes that the people in the building go through is unsettling, especially as the author gives us access to the minds of the three male leads. What most disturbed me was the way the women changed, because it really showed how the values of this new society differed from ours, and how easy it would be for us to become numb to depravity. I was hoping for no animal violence, but alas.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Violence, and Sexual harassment
