A review by itabar
Lightspeed Magazine, February 2015 by John Joseph Adams

5.0

I thought it was brilliant, but then, I don't mind profanity. I'm surprised that some of the reviewers were put off by it. It felt true to the world the MC was immersed in.

It was so grim, I didn't really want to finish it, but the excellence of the writing kept me reading. And then, the ending!! PERFECT!!

I nominated it for the Hugo and am delighted that it made it to the final five. I think it's the only non-RABID puppy nominee, so it's got a good shot at winning. Hope it does.
