This was a book club's suggestion and I was honeslty wondering what I had gotten myself into. Turns out it was quite fun and really suspensful at times. I had a good time.
I really liked this one! The stories were interesting and well written and I enjoyed reading from an animals perspective. It was also nice to read stories where the animals win in the end.

Νομίζω ένα αρκετά σκληρό βιβλίο που δείχνει από την σκοπιά των ζώων τί γίνεται όταν τα κακομεταχειρίζεται ο άνθρωπος. Δεν είναι ευχάριστο σίγουρα, αλλά ρέει εύκολα.

Actually quite interesting having the POV of different animals looking at humans.
Angry hamsters! A carnivorous ferret! Vengeful chickens! Come one, come all, come find yourself strangely amused by all the different reasons why an animal might be driven to kill. Or perhaps they did not intend to kill the person involved, but now that it’s done, what’s the harm? Yes, this book just may be the anti-Marley & Me.
Patricia Highsmith’s not known for her great love of the human race, so it makes sense that she’d spend an entire short story collection thinking of ways animals could vanquish with these pesky people who just get in the way. I mean, really, how is cat supposed to react when her owner’s sleazy boyfriend tries to toss her off the side of the yacht? Or what about the pig who just wants to eat some of the damn truffles it is sent out to find? Come on, cut a mammal a break, man.
