This book is barely discernible, best read without trying too hard to piece together plots, characters, points of views, or timelines. I impatiently read this as quickly as I could, but I was surprised at how much of an impression it made. The themes of human and animal suffering, the gasps of a dying planet, and harmful deeds of an ominous corporation coalesced in my mind, and I found I was haunted by the imagery when I put the book down. Not sure I'd recommend this one, but I got a lot more out of it than I expected and appreciated the challenge it presented.
