this is so different and strange in its unique story and writing that it’s a bit hard to review. 

the entire story is told from the perspective of a puma or mountain lion that seems to surprise in the edge of LA and the story is of is observations and snippets of conversations he hears from the humans around him.

this entire story is as strange as it sounds.

but it’s not bad. 

it’s just very different and more of an open commentary and running dialog or thought than an actual completed story i felt like. 

we get this snippet viewpoint of what it might be like for a wild animal who’s territory humanity doesn’t only approach on but actually invaded and actually destroys without a second thought or any offer to help the wild animals in hard times - like watering holes to make it easier for animals to find access to water after humans took most natural options away from them. 

it’s a good commentary and points punt a good amount of issues without actually talking about them. 

but i also think the entire book missed something overall to be fantastic. 

it’s a bit too open and left hanging which i guess is the purpose and fitting with the rest of the story but i also wish we would have gotten more then just a realistic view into the hard ships of wild animals during the current times. 

overall interesting and a good idea and interesting read.
if you are  looking for something unique and different, a commentary or just a view into a very different life that isn’t fantasy?
go for it!
