This little book packs a real punch! It is charming and clever but also a gut-wrenching exploration of disenfranchisement, loss, and tribalism. Without giving away too much, I think the overall tone remains hopeful, but be aware that hope will be tested. George Saunders does a fantastic job of convincing the reader of the need for kindness, acceptance, and decency, and I highly recommend this book to all readers. It’s quick and impactful and everyone should read it.

Favorite quote (contains spoilers):


“If you want your Storys to end happy, try being niser.”

Nice concept, story was sad, and no you haven't seen a human do those things, but they do happen in other ways. There has to be a balance between humans and animals, however, I don't believe that will ever happen.
