I loved Marcellus the first time I read this, but the audiobook version is so good that I fell even deeper for him on the second read/listen!

Marcellus' POV was my favorite. His commentary on human creatures was accurate and hilarious.
I hope his perspective inspires people to question and unlearn some of the speciesism they've been taught.

I found the pacing to be a little slow in the beginning, but overall, it was really well done. The characters are lovable and each have their own quirks. They feel like real people.
This book was a birthday gift, and I would definitely read this book again!
