This book was interesting in the sense that this is a piece of history I had never heard about. I know that situations like this are/were far from uncommon, but it's a part of history that is skimmed over.

Some parts of this book can be incredibly upsetting with depictions of Miamata Disease both in humans and in cats.

This book at it's core is a call to action, that if we let it, these types of things will be brushed under the rug. That corporations like Chisso, do not really care about the impact they have on the enviroment or people. That it is up to us in the end to speak up and hold them accountable.
