Quirky Cat
Book Summary:
Dr. Sean Kell-Luddon is one of the most determined scientists you'll meet. She's fascinated by animals and their perception. As such, she's found a way to combine neurological interfaces with these animals, understanding them directly.
This discovery has opened the door to a secret desire of Dr. Kell-Luddon. She wants to see, feel, and smell through a wolf. She wants to know what it is like to be a wolf running through the woods.
Unfortunately, this obsession with the minds of others does come at a cost. Primarily, it pulls her further from the humans around her – especially her wife. Which would you choose if given a chance?
My Review:
Okay, so I was a bit hesitant to dive into this one; I'm not going to lie. You never know how a horror story involving animals will go, so I tend to lean on the side of caution. That said, I'm glad I overcame my fear and read Feed Them Silence.
In a sense, most of us can sympathize with Dr. Sean's goals, at least at first. As with the story of Captain Ahab, there is such a thing as going too far. Of chasing our dreams until they turn into obsessions.
Naturally, most people miss the moment when this happens. Only viewing it from the outside makes it possible. In Sean's case, I felt chills running down my spine as I watched her chase after her wolfish dream.
This was an excellent read, despite all my hesitations if you're like me and are debating about reading Feed Them Silence, stop hesitating!
