A lot of people really enjoyed this book. As you can see from my review, I am not one of them. I honestly wonder what is the appeal of this book, if it goes beyond the sex scene of women and fish man.

The writing is ok, but not great. The characters are not all that great. I really could have cared less about any of them. They did not feel real. The whole situation did not feel real. There is a women who did not have a voice so she had to work as a janitor in a research facility. The social divide between the janitors and the scientists would have made a great book. However, this book barely glances on it. It devotes more time to one man's sick attitude towards everyone.

Then there is the ending. Could it have been so cliche? I pretty had much had it guessed at the sex scene. It is the thing that saves the book from being a tale of bestiality. Yet, it seems more like it was thrown in as an after thought.
