There is a lot happening in We Are the Ants, but I think it did everything justice. I was worried at the beginning that the characters were going to be one-dimensional, but all the characters that were important to the plot are well developed by the end. I don't know how I feel about the sci-fi aspect of the book. I maybe wanted a little more or a little less of the aliens, but the philisophical discussion it created was interesting. This book made me emotional and definitely made me think. It's definitely worth reading as a story about suicide and depression with a science fiction twist.
