I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but I wanted to read more highly acclaimed books from literary perspectives that are not strictly western. This novel was short, but so intelligently written and so emotionally deep that I found myself wishing to have seen more of the life of the protagonist. The blending of a traditional world with the modern is something I have personally seen in my own home country and find the meshing to be captivating, I'm glad someone is writing it down while it's still there.
For most of the novel, I thought that the animals really were killing people, and I felt pleased with the outcome, the real ending took me very unaware. I can't believe I didn't see it coming.
