Cannibals, Book One: Iambic Pentameter and the Teaching of Twelve by Joshua S. Porter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cannibals book one is a hard book to describe, purely because at first it might seem like a story about rabbits living in a wood, but in actual fact it turns out to be much more than that (luckily). The prologue really got me hooked and i think that bit of info was perfectly placed right at the start for a reason - to get your attention - and it turns out to be much more sci-fi than i thought it would be, which is awesome. There's a lot of religious symbolism in the book and you just know it has a deeper meaning (one i don't fully understand yet).
In the end you want to read about the rabbits so you can understand what everything means, because it becomes absolutely fascinating. At the end though, you don't completely get it - yet, so it makes you look forward to the 2nd book and I actually literally can't wait for it!
Joshua S. Porter has one of those very rare, brilliant minds and he is a true genius to come up with books like this (and all his other books). I highly recommend this book if you want something that will make you think; and even if you don't want to think too hard about it, it's very enjoyable nonetheless!
