The Wild Bunch meets Watership Down is a very apt description. I was a huge Redwall nerd growing up (both the cartoon and the novels) so this was a great way to start the new year!

Daniel Polansky is definitely one of my favourites now. I really enjoy his stand-alone fantasy novels immensely. Can't wait to continue reading his work. ( )

It's about a bunch of really violent animals and it's absolutely awesome. ( )

This is the adult equivalent to [b:Dinosaur Kisses|17262289|Dinosaur Kisses|David Ezra Stein|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1367256816s/17262289.jpg|23859089] by [a:David Ezra Stein|400898|David Ezra Stein|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1272901213p2/400898.jpg].

It's a fun book, a good book, but in the end, the author is laughing at his own joke while I'm wondering what just happened. ( )

I read this shortly after reading Low Town, which means I came into it with the most favorable opinion of Polansky I could possibly have had (Low Town was fabulous), and still, this really didn't speak to me. The anthropomorphism just didn't do it for me. Granted, I don't really have that Redwall background a lot of you do have, so calling it Redwall for adults just falls flat for me. I found this kind of shallow and superficial, and I just didn't ever manage to hook into it. :/ I was at like 90% for a week before I finally powered through the last ten pages, I just wasn't into it. ( )

this was truly terrible, and i don't know why the writer would think it was a good idea to foist his adolescent scribbling on readers, i must assume for the sheer joke of doing so. ( )
