We Are the Ants

How can I best summarize this book? Parts of the book are poignant, parts of it were completely unnecessary. Ignoring the frequent language and descriptions, I have other numerous concerns about it. The book comes in at 451 pages and while the text was easy enough to read, it is rather long in comparison to any other book the committee has reviewed. I also worry about the protagonist not being relatable enough for our students, and I could see the story being very triggering for others. While I understand why the book has gotten the praise it has, and I personally enjoyed it (I read the entire book within a few hours), I can’t see it working well within LSEM.

Overall rating: 2/5 stars
