rated 4/10: bad but could be read
I read a few chapters. Began to think, ha ha that's clever. Then... ha ha, I bet they're going to...
And good grief. That's exactly what they were going to do. Oh, and it isn't clever. It's nasty with a straight face.
It's possible that the author is trying for a metaphor of modern parenting. Okay.
Unfortunately the book -- as far as I could bear to read -- is unpleasant. Unsympathetic. With no hint of acceptance of the human weaknesses of the non-human metaphors.
I read books for pleasure. This book gave me none.
