I thought it was kind of a funny quirk of the organization that the titular story came so late in the book. Some stories I really liked. Others, I'm conflicted on, but overall, I enjoyed the book. This might be something I'll read again. I really enjoyed the extended nature of the titular story, and especially "The Heavy Thing," "We Did Not Know We Were Giants," "I Am a Beautiful Bug!" and "The Thing in Us We Fear Just Wants Our Love." My issue was with some of the earlier stories. They almost made me put down the book, but I'm glad I didn't. I think I may read this one again. The integration of eco criticism in a post-apocalyptic setting in which the world ended with a shuddering gasp and then kept on kind of going made these stories interesting and for the most part interconnected, even as they spanned a variety of subject matter and characters.
