My brother threw this at me, saying I'd been reading too much nonfiction and needed to diversify. He was right.
Its the sort of book that takes a while to get going, but you need to set up all the pins before you knock them down. Honestly a fantastic read overall, a deeply mystifying magical political drama with characters you just can't help but relate to.
Its a difficult read. Learning about how unnecessarily cruel we are to animals in farming and experimentation. Unnecessary may seem like a loaded term, but this book adequately explores why modern farming methods are grossly wasteful in both resources and land. It explores the sadistic world of animal experimentation, all the while wanting you to know what they are capable of feeling.
Its heart wrenching, but a necessary read in the modern day. Per the title, I'm already vegan because of "This is Vegan Propaganda" by Ed Winters, but I think if I had read this first it would have done the same.
Great exploration of the ethical and moral quandaries around animal farming and experimentation in the modern day, while also discussing how unnecessary and inefficient it is.
