In a way they are both equally themselves and I enjoy that. I wasn't led to believe that I should love the rats nor love the humans. I didn't really find myself pulled into an emotional connection with these rats. Extremely good choice in what POV we should be following. So it is very refreshing to see a book focus on the rats and their relationship. I don't care if the people survive or die I want to see them fight the rats. A lot of books focus on the people to the point that it's not about the rats it's not about the monster it's about these humans that I don't care about. I happily enjoyed this book focuses more on the rats than on the people. It seems like they're building an immunity to the poison as this book goes on and I wonder if that'll factor into the next book. It is enjoyable in many ways and I found it deeply unsettling how often the rats actually succeeded. The Rats is a novel that starts out really strong, better than any other rat book probably does. This author has always had talent and I would be a liar if I said he didn't.
