"I picked up Student of Living Things on the new fiction shelf at the library, and it -- s a story about post-9/11 world, and I thought it might be kind of political. So I thought I would give it a try. The book is about a family who loses a son in a terrorist attack in a post-9/11 world where terrorist attacks are very common in the United States. I loved how connected I felt with all the characters. I felt like it was really emotional, and at times I didn't even, you know, I didn't want to read it while I was on the bus because I wanted to be at home, like in a safe place, because it was really, you felt really connected with everyone in it. I think someone who's looking for a political novel might not enjoy it so much. I think someone who would, would be someone who is looking for an emotional story. I give this book two and a half stars. I thought it was really good with character development and connection, but I thought that the plot could have been tightened up a little bit, and some of the threads were not really followed up on."
