This thought experiment takes life in The Awareness and reflects their points of view, and it’s clear they do not like what routinely and thoughtlessly happens to themselves, their families, and their friends. “Every now and again I sit back and wonder what it would be like if other animals could really fight back against the egregious violence to which we subject them in a wide variety of venues ranging from research laboratories and classrooms to zoos, circuses, rodeos, factory farms, and in their own homes in ours and in the wild. I would recommend this book to everyone I know-and hope they recommend it to everyone they know as well.” ![]() “The Awareness is an amazing book-partly because it’s such an extraordinarily gripping story, but also because I can think of no other recent novel that explores the minds of animals with such sympathy and compassion.
