Gun to my head I have no idea what this book was abt. To quote heystaceykay's review:

I suppose I am too pedestrian a reader to have truly grasped what this novel was trying to say to me. […] If I had understood, I feel as if it would have
been enjoyable.
As it stands, I did like the mongooses.

To be fair, I read this at like midnight, half-asleep and half just not paying attention in general. I can’t tell if I wasn’t paying enough attention or if the writing was genuinely bad. It was definitely hectic as hell and it interrupted its own flow regularly.  

I might try rereading this book sometime later, to see if it is actually good and I was just too busy fighting to keep my eyes open, or if of the writing/story was just genuinely bad.
