This is a brilliantly written novel, though sometimes a little too brilliant. What I mean, is that quite a few times I had to put this book down because I was either disgusted, annoyed, befuddled, or plain emotionally overwhelmed... not by her writing, but by the turn the story took. This is an impossibly realistic novel full of deep insights into human and animal minds. I felt I was truly there, seeing this as it happened, and completely unable to stop the horrors and stupidity of mankind. Like a nightmare you are forced to watch... wow!

I highly recommend this book for everyone - touchingly emotional and wonderfully done!
