A first novel from one of the U.S.'s most impressive public intellectuals, and a generally compelling if often overwritten tale of skewed family dynamics and biodisasters.

There is just something about pigs and socialism that go together well. And when they started calling each other Comrad it was genius. I love smart satires.

The story itself wasn't bad it just wasn't well written.

I don't think I was in the right frame of mind to read this book. The essays are all heartfelt and some are interesting and well-written. But I found myself glazing over the anguished descriptions of wanting to be liked, and looking for some bullet-pointed classroom management tips. If the title resonates and you want to read something that delivers on its promise, read this blog instead (http://roomd2.blogspot.com/), starting at the beginning.
