Good Omens meets Animal Farm. It had its moments, but was a bit grim for my taste.
medium-paced

This was fascinating. Very intellectual. The ending was what is expected, I did not expect the journey along the way though.

A nice book that leaves you contemplating death. Majnoun is my favorite, but I think it makes sense that Price was the one who died happy, since he was romanticizing life. Loved that he was rewarded in the end 

This book is an incredible concept and an interesting read. At the same time, it is very sad. Its portrayal of human nature is bleak. It is not an optimist's view on people, which sometimes I found tough to read, but it really forced me to think about the world. The book is fascinating, and I did enjoy it, even though I cried through almost the whole thing. I would not consider this a "light read".

alecta's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I couldn't even finish this book, despite getting so close to the end.
It was not enjoyable for me. It felt like it was actually written by dogs. Felt unnecessarily crass and like it was trying so hard to be insightful and fell short in any war for me. None of the characters were interesting or worth learning about.
This book was recommended to me by so many people, and yet I do not see why.
