I’m really intrigued by the mutations that occurred after the events. Talking dogs and symbiotic relationships are very reminiscent of the science fiction genre but are not topics that I have ever really read much about in the past. I am intrigued to read more about these mutations and how they affect the relationships between characters and certain circumstances.

Dr. Bloodmoney - Part 1
I really enjoy following the different characters in this story. It doesn't
seem that there is any one response to the aftermath of events in the novel.
Some characters seem to deal with life more easily than others. For one, eating
rats is not something that I would necessarily think about. It seems
interesting that rations of food are available but are not always taken.

I would have to agree with you, this book has turned many different corners, I would not have expected. I am excited to see where this novel is going with all these different characters. They all have such different stories and points at where they are in their lives. I would have to agree they are all having different situations that are happening some worst than others. I hope your enjoying this novel.
ReplyDeleteI also found the mutations to be entertaining. I liked the rat that played the flute, but got run over. I also enjoyed the interaction of the raft operator who owned the rat and made him the flute, with Stuart who makes and sells traps to catch rats and such. I thought the talking dog was hilarious, but the description of the cats and dogs that band together to kill children to be frightening.
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised by some of the mutations. Also seeing Hoppy transition to a genetic accident before the accident to a messiah afterwords was an interesting thought.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the characters. It doesn't seem that there are nearly as many to keep track of as there were in The Simulacra. Or maybe there is a similar number, but they are just better developed. That tends to happen when people's lives tend to take a drastic external change.
