When We Were Animals by Joshua Gaylord

Weird, kind of horror – I can’t say for sure that I liked it. There was a bit too much musing on the nature of humanity and the thin veneer of civilization. Having teenagers literally run wild, like wild, was an interesting idea, but there wasn’t enough about why the main character was different, if she was different – I’m not even clear on whether I’m supposed to think she was different! Did she just think she was different and so she acted like it? I finished it last night, and the more I think about it, the more dissatisfied I am. This isn’t the good kind of post-book musing.
