4.0

Predictable, but still poignant, commentary on Homo sapiens general disregard and disrespect for other living beings. A little more subtle or a little bit more over-the-top, and this could have been a 5 star read. As is, it's like noticing something atrocious and hurrying past, eyeing it sidelong. Not facing it head on or being truly forced to acknowledge and confront.
