Reviews

[H J Palmer · Rating 3 out of 5]

This novel is quite appropriate. The mother in the novel is a vegetarian and believes eating meat is wrong. The misaligned morality is briefly mentioned twice, however, the mother is also portrayed as quite loopy. This means that it is shown as her odd belief, not one that the reader should agree with. She remains annoyed that lions eat meat, but the story is otherwise clean and quite humorous.
