#100BTMMAW 3: The Moonstone

Although it's a cracking story about a fabulous stolen jewel it’s really the structure of the novel which grabbed me when I first read it. The multiple narrators with a bookending structure is perfect.

Quotes by R.P. Nathan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Colonists have similarities to beetles although are slightly bigger than humans. On Earth, because of the relatively low oxygen content of the atmosphere, their insect-like circulation is not very effective at getting oxygen around their bodies – which is why insects never grow particularly large here on Earth.”
R.P. Nathan, Now We Are Animals

“I’m sorry I used to roll my eyes at you when you used to say, “This food will taste extra good because it was made with love.” I know what you meant. I always knew.”
R.P. Nathan, Now We Are Animals

“When it suited us, animals were properly sentient. And when it didn't, they were just a commodity.”
R.P. Nathan, Now We Are Animals
