A review by lizdesole
Anthill by Edward O. Wilson
4.0
There were three parts to this novel.
The first is the story of a boy growing up in the south
I liked but didn't love this part. Partly because the story was interesting but the characters never really gelled for me
The second part of the book is an anthropomorphized account of the ant colonies in the woods near the protagonist's home. This part was absolutely fascinating. No surprise considering the fact that the author is a renowned biologist.
The third part is the protagonist trying to save his little part of the world. It was ok, but I still didn't feel the characters were that believable. The ending felt like a tacked-on chase scene from a movie though.
He should write more about creeping things-forget about the humans
