Heart shattering and devastating. Finished in one sitting. Never gave it back to my middle school teacher… sorry queen. 
It’s one of those books you ponder about when you’re pants down on the toilet or you know when you space out while driving and think of sad things?? Yea you’ll think of this book.

The novel version spends too much time on themes that are not as interesting or rewarding as the premise of the original short story.

incredibly thought-provoking AND heart-breaking; I wish the mouse had been in a bigger role but overall very interesting and an important read.

it was scary how he became possessive and aggressive and expressed his male sexuality and masculinity through those means after "gaining intelligence"

, really makes you think what should even be called intelligence and how easily we exclude emotions and kindness from it.
