“<strong>pointless story</strong>
It begins with an interesting family dynamic. A father mother and paraplegic adult daughter. Easy reading but too many tangents. Then we proceed to the one point of view Hal. The inner and ridiculous imaginings of the main character are long and boring. It says nothing and has a cheap abrupt ending.”

““He was a surplus human, a product of a swollen civilization. He was a widget among men.”
And here we follow Hal, surplus human, sad sack. That was tough to get through sometimes, but at least it gets better at the halfway mark. Early on, I could see what the author was doing with the main character of this novel in contrast with the main character of the last one: they are each other’s inverses. I was a little annoyed when she came right out and said it. Show, don’t tell! Still, I was glad for the continuation of this plot, and the ideas in this one were as fascinating as in the previous. Less about humans and their relationship with animals and more about their relationships with other humans — the haves and the have-nots. The sacrificial lambs (yes, there are biblical references as usual) who keep the lucky few safely in their lavish lifestyles. I’m looking forward to the last book if only to read more of Millet’s deft handling of themes.”
