May 11, 2008: Even though the movie brings out the best in the book, the novel shows the poetic mind of Adams. It will leave you addicted to its words, and the tears you shed are unavoidable. This book is sadly neglected by critics. It should be a classic novel, next to its predecessor, Watership Down.

October 04, 2007: an awesome and grand novel, including the horridness of resurch centers and the pain and suffering that they lay upon animals. This novel makes you want to cheer the characters on, and makes you really think about what people really do to animals in the labs. (Definately not for children!)
