Really thought provoking. Makes me want to be a vegetarian. Interesting discussion on identity—who are we? Reading about the world on the cusp of the millennium was interesting, as the world is even more globalized than Ozeki had predicted. Not my favorite work of hers, but it drew me in and kept me wanting more nonetheless.
