Fluffy's Revolution
“ Brisk sci-fi futurism with a feline star and a positive outlook. ” – KIRKUS REVIEWS The fate of the world rests on the haunches of one small cat. It’s 2135. Fluffy is a super-intelligent GAB (Genetically Altered Brain) cat. Like many dogs, cats, mice, and the occasional pig, her brain is the product of genetic tinkering by humans that started more than a century ago. With their powers of telekinesis, the animals can manipulate physical objects without being able to grasp them. They can speak to each other telepathically without audible voices. Now, people have begun to fear them and to systematically capture and exterminate them. Fluffy leaves the safety of her home to look for her lost brother and joins a band of animal revolutionaries. After a series of brushes with death, Fluffy and her friends find a secret university for GAB animals. There, they work with enlightened humans to save Earth from certain destruction.

About the author
Ted Myers
11 books42 followersABOUT THE AUTHOR
After twenty years trembling on the brink of rock stardom and fifteen years working at record companies, Ted Myers left the music business—or perhaps it was the other way around—and took a job as a copywriter at an advertising agency. This cemented his determination to make his mark as an author.
As a musician, Ted sang, played guitar, and wrote songs for five seminal rock bands between 1964 and 1984. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these was his first, The Lost, based in Boston MA. They were signed to Capitol Records in 1965, and were thought of as big stars in Boston and upstate New York at a time when fans of local bands didn’t know they were only a regional phenomenon. In 1967 Ted started Chamaeleon Church (with Chevy Chase on drums!), and, in the ‘70s, two more bands in California. But, ironically, the most well-known band he played with was Ultimate Spinach, a San Francisco-style Boston band that was founded in 1967. When they lost their founder and lead singer, Ted and his co-writer, Tony Scheuren were tapped to fill in for one last album and tour in 1969. In 1972 he wrote the song “Going in Circles” for the major motion picture “X, Y & Zee” starring Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Caine. It was recorded by Three Dog Night on two of their albums and a top-20 single, selling about 6 million records. As a compilation producer for Rhino Records, his folk box set Washington Square Memoirs earned a Grammy® nomination in 2001.
His short fiction has appeared in many literary magazines and anthologies. His epic and amusing memoir, Making It: Music, Sex & Drugs in the Golden Age of Rock was published in 2017. Fluffy’s Revolution, published in 2019, was his first novel. His second novel, Paris Escapade, was published in December 2020. The forthcoming Tales From the Hereafter is a themed collection of short stories, all first-person accounts of what it’s like to be dead. It is scheduled for publication in August 2023.
Ted lives alone in Santa Monica, CA, a happy recluse.

Blade Runner X Homeward Bound.
This was top-tier dystopian science fiction. The stakes are high in this wryly humorous anthropomorphic adventure. In its future world like Poul Anderson's Brainwave, with a touch of Orwell's Animal Farm mixed in, I was intrigued and won over by the charming and witty characters, the over-the-top plot, and the eccentric world building. There were multiple surprises in every chapter, and the book rarely slows down to let you think too hard about plausibility. The writing is slick and moves at a breakneck pace, through an engaging pseudo-technical cinematic crescendo, and left me eager for more. I'm onboard for the sequel Mr. Myers.
I had no problems with this book and would read it again. Recommended for all ages. A few classic movie references thrown in were a bonus.

Fluffy’s Revolution is a witty sci-fi tale of dystopian adventure in a world where there are super-intelligent animals.
Fluffy is a five-year-old cat living in the year 2135. She is a GAB, as animals with genetically modified brains are called. She can read and use a computer. She can also communicate with other GAB animals telepathically, as well as manipulate physical objects through telekinesis.
Fluffy lives with a professor she calls “Dad.” Climate change has caused New York City to be abandoned. Fluffy and the professor live in a high-rise building Kingston, NY, the new version of Manhattan. Humans are hunting down and exterminating the GAB animals, fearing their enhanced powers. Fluffy is safe, as long as she stays inside with the professor.
This is a short book; at 145 pages it’s probably a novella. There’s a certain amount of exposition at the beginning that makes it slow getting started, but once the action begins it’s a delight
Fluffy misses her brother, from whom she was separated when they were tiny kittens. She can sense him out there, somewhere, and she’s determined to find him. She leaves the professor’s apartment and ventures into the unknown.
The outside world is strange and alarming and there are brushes with danger that will have you holding your breath, fearing what will happen to the brave little cat. Along the way she meets up with a motley band of animal revolutionaries: dogs, cats, mice and even the occasional pig. The small heroes must avoid capture while finding a way to stop an asteroid that threatens Planet Earth.
Fuffy’s Revolution is a charming tale. Taken by itself it’s an adventure story appropriate for young readers. Taken in a larger context it poses important questions about what it means to be human and what our responsibilities are to animals, and to the environment.

What I Liked:
It was hilarious and perfectly captured the essence of a cat. Kind, caring, loving, but will rather be caught dead than actually show any of these emotions. Fluffy is such a beautiful little soul (of course, because I love cats). I spent a LOT of this just going "aww, bless" and cheering on the little group of determined animals really hoping they would save the world. It was also really fast paced, which you'd expect from a short book, but it didn't feel like a forced speed. It worked, it made sense.
What I Didn't Like:
There were some problematic elements here and there, like describing a woman as "Asian" and Asia is so vast that this doesn't actually give me much indication what she looks like, or what culture she's supposed to be representing. Otherwise, there weren't really any problems with it. I genuinely really enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for providing me with an e-ARC of this book.
3/5 stars. A lot of potential, but something was missing for me.
This was a cute and wholesome story about treating everyone equally and overcoming prejudice and I really appreciated that about it.
That said, I felt that the book was a bit too short for what it was trying to accomplish. It seemed rushed in some places... there were some long information dumps in place of natural world building at least one major plot point came seemingly out of nowhere more than halfway through the book and then had to be resolved a little too quickly. There were also a lot of characters for such a short read, and it was hard to keep them all straight in my head.
The main characters were all very endearing, though. And I love the overall concept of this book. GAB animals make great heroes and I really hope there will be more stories that take place in this version of the future with these animals.

This book introduces you to Fluffy and her "Dad".
With "Fluffy's Revolution", Ted Myers has created a quite intriguing and well-elaborated story with interesting characters. It was easy to get into the story, I was drawn in close to Fluffy. Fluffy is very complex, highly likeable; the other characters are of sufficient depth - according to their relevance. Ted Myers created a dystopian story that offers food for thought on human behaviour. The story proceeds at a steady pace, carefully portraying the protagonists and their feelings; it comprises interesting turns and some action and has a great flow. To read "Fluffy's Revolution" is time well spent - even if the dystopian genre is normally not among your favourites; here, cooperation and the wish to do the right thing have no frontiers.
This is a book for you if you like stories with a mission, animals, creative plots, as well as food for thought.
Recommended!

Is it an Alpha Plus? A Nexus-6 replicant? No. It's Fluffy--one of the smartest, sweetest GAB (Genetically Altered Brain) kitties.
As a child, I was drawn to dystopian stories with wit and class. My favorites include: 1984, A Brave New World, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and Fahrenheit 451. Unfortunately I stepped away from reading these types of stories because, well, the world has been on fire for quite some time...
FLUFFY'S REVOLUTION came into my hands and I was instantly drawn into the daunting future of genetically altered animals and the mega-corporations that want to destroy them. Before reading the novel, judging by the cover and title, I assumed it would be an extremely silly sci-fi read. But I was wrong. It was ENDEARING and SHARP and WITTY--exactly like the classic dystopian novels/novelettes I grew up on.
It normally takes about a week and a half for me to read a book, but I read FLUFFY'S REVOLUTION within a week. I sped through the pages. A true sign of great writing. Overall, I found it to be a FUN, QUICK READ. READ IT!
P.S. Plus there's a genetically altered rat named Hacker who reminded me of the punk rock version of Rizzo from The Muppets!

I'm a sucker for stories for with talking animals, although most of time, they can go either way in terms of quality. Fortunately here, Fluffy's Revolution hits the ground running and keeps at a decent pace throughout. The premise is interesting, and for such a short novel, the characters are surprisingly well rounded.
Only small drawbacks were the slightly problematic descriptions and the main romance, however mileage may vary on the latter.
Overall, a enjoyable read. Could easily be turned into a series.
With thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the arc.

**3.25 stars
Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, Ted Myers, for the reading opportunity.
“But don’t try to match them in violence; no other species on the planet is as vicious. Don’t try to beat humans at their games; make them play yours.”
Fluffy’s Revolution is set in a futuristic, dystopian setting where Genetically Altered Brain animals are in a lot of danger. These GAB animals have been made out to be “terrorists”, leaving a vast majority of the public to believe that they are dangerous and need to be wiped out. Some humans, however, support equal rights for the GABs and are therefore considered loyal activists. Some even “own” these animals, which leads us to our main character, Fluffy. She’s a beautiful, incredibly intelligent feline owned by a professor. While their relationship is close, Fluffy decides to leave home in search of her brother, Jack, and to join the revolution.
Now, personally I would probably refer to this book as more of a novella than a full novel. Novellas are shorter and they don’t take the same type of character and plot development that a novel does to create the story for you. Fluffy’s Revolution felt like that for me. The writing was really well done, but from the very first chapter I realized that this was going to be quickly paced. Since it is pretty short, that was perfectly fine for me, but the first couple of chapters did seem a bit sudden. One minute we are getting some background info into GABs and how Fluffy and the professor came to be, and then the next, Fluffy is taking off into Kingston, NY (the new NYC). That quick transition was at first a little jarring for me but once I got used to the way Myers moves from scene to scene, it ran smoothly. Sometimes it’s a matter of getting familiar with the way an author works.
As far as characters go, Fluffy was certainly my favorite. She reminded me a lot of my own cat, Luna, though Fluffy isn’t sassy. There are a lot of different characters in this that help make up the story but readers don’t get fully acquainted with each of them. I’ll reiterate that in shorter stories like this one, character development doesn’t always take the front seat. This is most certainly a plot driven book.
Speaking of the plot… I found the book, as a whole, to be entertaining. It was amusing in that doesn’t-even-realize-it’s-funny kind of way, mostly because there are a bunch of talking animals that are exponentially more intelligent than most of the humans. I’m certainly an animal person, so although I’ve never read a book centered around an animal as the main character, I enjoyed this new type of reading experience. The plot itself was a bit busy for such a short novel. A lot of big stuff happens and I’m still looking back wondering how in the world Myers managed to fit it all into 145 pages! I can’t list some of the big events without ruining the story for those who would like to check it out, but I will say that this story is about more than just the animal revolution. There is a lot going on that I didn’t expect. Although it all came together well, it does make the book move almost too fast sometimes. With that being said, however, with the little amount of page space Myers took up, he did a very good job at giving each event an adequate amount of time & description.
Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable experience. I think that if you enjoy Sci-Fi (and I call it sci-fi loosely because really this book just needs a genre of its own) and new, fun, and interesting POVs, then this is most definitely the book for you. It’s a fast, nice read and although there are some darker things that happen, it’s an overall light experience and can really help with a reading slump. If it sounds like the type of book you’d enjoy, then I’d certainly recommend checking it out once it’s published!

I’ll be honest with you guys, I really was not sure whether or not I would write a review for Fluffy’s Revolution. However, since I received this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review, I felt the need to do so.
At first, the premise of Fluffy’s Revolution interested me enough to want to read it. The idea behind enhanced animals who could talk and had special powers was super intriguing. And the fact the animals could talk? Was I about to experience a cartoon in book form? Hardly, but it felt like it.
“Maybe our only hope is to rise up against the human oppressors and fight for our rights.”
The book is set in 2135 and Genetically Enhanced Brain animals, or GABs, are at an all-time high. It began in 2015 when mice had their brains experimented on. From there, cats, dogs, mice, and even pigs have been tinkered and have evolved with these brains. They are able to talk to each other telepathically as well as through computers to humans. They also have telekinetic powers which allow them to feed themselves, open doors and even power electronic devices. But the Triumvirate, a collective of the largest organizations in the world see them as a threat and have started to round up GABs and “suppress” them. Because of this, animal activists became terrorists and any GAB animal who did not have an owner would be exterminated.
Fluffy, a beautiful fluffy cat and her owner/dad, the Professor, live in a highrise set of flats. But when Fluffy starts feeling a call from her brother, Jack, she knows she needs to go and find him. Fluffy decides she needs to join the revolution in order to find and save jack and to save the GABs from the Triumvirate. She ventures off and meets several new friends, but also starts to get strange visions. What do these visions mean? Will she find out?
Fluffy is definitely my favorite character and made Fluffy’s Revolution enjoyable. She is a wonderful cat who wanted to do better for the world. She had such a big voice and a big heart and loves her brother with all her heart. Her love for her friends was also super touching. Fluffy is an incredibly smart cat and excels at reading and writing and loves English LIT but struggles with Maths.
I also really enjoyed Hacker, the little grey mouth who had black button eyes. He is an inventor and super intelligent and was able to figure out things super quick.
There are SO many characters though in this book. Sometimes it was really hard for me to keep up with them. Some highlightable ones though are the resistance group. Mitzi, the white mouse. Tigger, a white and orange short-haired cat and Fang, a shaggy girl dog who was once abused by her previous owners. There was also the 3 humans who were part of the resistance. Giuseppe, Rudy and Janet. Janet’s story ran deeper than the other two due to her connections with family so I felt for her the most.
“Humans are the most violent species on Earth. Don’t try to beat them at their game.”
Then you have the professor who honestly I did not really like. Sure, I liked his relationship with Fluffy … but that was about it. I didn’t really like how he instantly fell in love with a girl who he just met who was so much younger than her. I also did not like Jeremiah Epps, the owner of Epsilon. His history with animals made him hate them even though he tortured a cat who scratched his eye out. I also did not like his commitment to his family. I honestly made me feel awkward.
Art and Laura were interesting characters but there was not enough of them in the Fluffy’s Revolution to make me form full opinions of them, but they were nice enough. I also enjoyed how Art was really into art and how I feel strongly that the cover of this book is his art.
Overall, Fluffy’s Revolution was interesting. But there are moments when I didn’t enjoy reading it due to feeling awkward. I didn’t like the human sections as much as the animal sections. Pretty sure it was because of the dynamics between the humans with themselves rather than with the animals and how they somehow kept “falling in love” with each other. I do like a good romance, but Fluffy Revolution did work that well for me on that front.
It’s an enjoyable short book and if you like sci-fi books it’s most likely one you will enjoy. Personally for me it was a bit hit and miss. Animals were fun to read about though so that’s the biggest bonus for me.

I also really enjoyed Hacker, the little grey mouth who had black button eyes. He is an inventor and super intelligent and was able to figure out things super quick.
There are SO many characters though in this book. Sometimes it was really hard for me to keep up with them. Some highlightable ones though are the resistance group. Mitzi, the white mouse. Tigger, a white and orange short-haired cat and Fang, a shaggy girl dog who was once abused by her previous owners. There was also the 3 humans who were part of the resistance. Giuseppe, Rudy and Janet. Janet’s story ran deeper than the other two due to her connections with family so I felt for her the most.
“Humans are the most violent species on Earth. Don’t try to beat them at their game.”
Then you have the professor who honestly I did not really like. Sure, I liked his relationship with Fluffy … but that was about it. I didn’t really like how he instantly fell in love with a girl who he just met who was so much younger than her. I also did not like Jeremiah Epps, the owner of Epsilon. His history with animals made him hate them even though he tortured a cat who scratched his eye out. I also did not like his commitment to his family. I honestly made me feel awkward.
Art and Laura were interesting characters but there was not enough of them in the Fluffy’s Revolution to make me form full opinions of them, but they were nice enough. I also enjoyed how Art was really into art and how I feel strongly that the cover of this book is his art.
Overall, Fluffy’s Revolution was interesting. But there are moments when I didn’t enjoy reading it due to feeling awkward. I didn’t like the human sections as much as the animal sections. Pretty sure it was because of the dynamics between the humans with themselves rather than with the animals and how they somehow kept “falling in love” with each other. I do like a good romance, but Fluffy Revolution did work that well for me on that front.
It’s an enjoyable short book and if you like sci-fi books it’s most likely one you will enjoy. Personally for me it was a bit hit and miss. Animals were fun to read about though so that’s the biggest bonus for me.

Fluffy’s Revolution is a unique story about animals who are GAB, or have genetically altered brains. These animals can communicate with each other telepathically, and they have telekinetic powers. They can move objects with their minds. They can read books and use computers. The year is 2135 and the population of earth is threatened by an approaching asteroid that is big enough to wipe out the entire planet and everyone on it. Doomsday is 30 days away.
Fluffy is a GAB cat who lives with her dad, a professor in Kingston, the new NYC. After the climate changed and the oceans rose, Kingston is the new oceanfront. Fluffy and her dad have a good life. She gets to read and grow her intelligent mind and her dad gets the comfort of having a cat around. One day, she gets telepathic messages that her brother, Jack, is in trouble. She decides to leave home and join the animals in their fight. Reluctantly, the professor tells her goodbye and she disappears into the streets of the city. There, she must evade Animal Control. There are robot controlled vehicles that sweep the streets and vacuum up any stray animals, who are then taken to an extermination center. Fluffy narrowly escapes.
She eventually finds her way to the hideout of the other GAB animals, where she meets Hacker, a mouse who is an engineer, and Mitzi, his wife. She also meets other GAB cats and dogs and pigs. Together with some human allies, they plan a rescue to save the animals in the extermination center. However, one of the three big corporations that runs the world, which is headed by a man named Epps (who hates animals) is after the animals it has labeled terrorists. Will the rescue mission succeed? Will Fluffy and the others find a way to save the planet? And why does she keep seeing flashes of a place called Animal U?
This story was very fast-paced. Fluffy’s adventures take her on a long journey, but she and her friends do some pretty amazing things. I liked that the animals all were shown as intelligent beings who could communicate and talk, with the help of an assistive device that interpreted their thoughts. It was a really creative story and enjoyable to read. There were some pretty cool gadgets and inventions that were used by both the animals and humans. The storyline is parts sci-fi and fantasy, part adventure tale.
The story is mostly dialog and action with minimal long descriptive passages, so it moves quickly. You can read it in a few hours. The only violent scene was the raid on the warehouse where the animals were hiding out after their escape from the extermination center.
The reading level is not too difficult. I’d say this book would be appropriate for ages 11 and up. Even adults will enjoy the story and creative way that the animals and humans interact in it. Of course, anyone who is a cat lover will want to read it since the main character is a cat.
In summary, the story was delightful and the end was great. The message is a positive one about working together and getting along despite differences. It should appeal to a wide range of readers of all ages. Animal lovers will especially get a kick out of it. I recommend it for anyone who loves this kind of story, with a heroine who is a cat!

A group of super-intelligent GAB (Genetically Altered Brain) cats, dogs, and mice; compassionate humans; a bunch of bad guys; and the dystopian earth for the setting frame Ted Myers’ science fiction novella. A by-product of genetic tinkering by humans, GAB animals’ brilliant brain, which is capable of communicating nonverbally and telekinesis (ability to manipulate physical objects without touching) become the literal cause of systematic extermination of their whole species. Jeremiah Epps, a powerful world corporation leader, wants to eradicate the entire population of GAB animals from the earth while animal activists and revolutionaries join forces to fight for equal rights.
Fluffy, a GAB feline, leaves the safety of her home to find her long-lost brother and join the revolutionaries in their fight against GAB extermination. But she finds herself entangled in a much bigger problem that could put the earth’s very existence in jeopardy. Working with their human friends, will fluffy and other GAB animals succeed in averting the impending doom?
Myers brings a load of fun and entertainment to this dystopian animal tale with his swift narrative and engaging plotting. A typical dystopian theme with all the necessary framework can render a story overfilled feel, but Myers shows the best and worst sides of humanity without overstuffing the usual elements of dystopian fiction.
The setting of the twenty-second century feels plausible without straining the imagination. The characterization stays on thin side as high action secures the heart of the plot. The characters: GAB animals are charming nonetheless. Though a grim theme of mass annihilation of pets lies at the heart of the story, the tone of the book is extremely light.
Animal protagonists’ wry humor, unbeatable intelligence, and an uncanny ability to communicate nonverbally combined with fast-paced happenings render the books amusement galore. Shorter themes of non-violence, redemption, and power of friendship, love, and acceptance add perspective to the story. The book will appeal equally to adults as well as young adult readers.
As the book explores romance and the mature theme of love-making (in passing only), parental guidance is needed for children younger than twelve. The fast pace of the story and constant action will leave readers yearning for a series featuring the same cast. A compelling read.

As someone who read (and adored) books about animals as a child, Fluffy's Revenge immediately appealed to me. I thought this might be a 'grown-up' version of that genre, maybe with additional wit and thought thrown in. But, well, to be honest, it still felt like reading a children's story. I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review, and so that's what this is going to be.
The premise sounds fabulous. A century into the future, we as humans have messed with animals so much they can now talk and move objects with their minds. But there's a catch. They are viciously oppressed by a miserable business exec with a major case of PTSD. Having been scratched by a cat when he was younger, he has made it his sole purpose in life to wipe every trace of these intelligent animals off the face of the earth. And as it turns out, he might just get his wish...
OoOoOh, sounds good, right? And all the five-star reviews make me think maybe I'm being too critical of what is a short but fun little story about pets rising up against their human oppressors. Indeed, it's incredibly easy to read, especially if you're seeking some very light reading for the end of a long day. I also like that it's set in the future where the author can show off a bit of imagination regarding technology and the makeup of society. Sadly, there are issues with the way this story is told.
For one, it is all tell and no show. The prose is poor and the dialogue is quite dull. The plot zips along at breakneck speed, which is actually quite refreshing when you realise you don't have to sit through hours of build-up. However, major events begin and end in the span of a few pages. The characters are interesting; Hacker is a fun little chap, and other animals show promise. The problem is it's difficult to properly flesh out so many characters in under 200 pages. Fluffy especially is a bland, stereotypical little-miss-perfect with not much personality. And finally, as another reviewer has pointed out, it is really uncomfortable at times. I'll leave that for you to discover.
I think this could have been a decent story, it's just the execution that let it down. I can't even blame the book length, because if Pratchett can spin out hilarious, borderline-epic tales in 200 pages, then other authors can. Just needed some quality writing and better editing, I'm afraid.

Okay, so I only read this book because it was free, it is sci-fi, and it has a beautiful, fluffy cat on the cover. I love sci-fi and cats, so that should be a slam-dunk, right? Somehow, I missed the fact that it was set in a dystopian future in which GAB (Genetically Altered Brain) animals are routinely hunted, rounded up and euthanized. I normally avoid all dystopian future books. Just can't take the darkness.
But I was already into this one. Fluffy already had me hooked. She was so naïve, so innocent, and so determined to save her brother. I cringed when she told her human dad goodbye and set out on her own into the big, bad world. I was certain terribly things would happen to her, and while some terrible things did happen, some wonderful things happened, too. Some very beautiful things happened in the book that brought me a sense of hope again and a greater appreciation for those who retain the goodness in their hearts even when naivety and innocence are gone. I finished the book and for the first time in a very long time when I've read a book obtained for free, I started looking for the sequel! Even willing to *pay* for it! But alas, there is no sequel. "Fluffy" is a standalone book with the ending all wrapped up nicely, although I can think of a few things that the author could explore in another book.
One note for those who like their sci-fi to contain hard science facts--just suspend your disbelief with this one. The story is about the characters, not about the science, and as such it is beautifully done. And if the author should choose to write a sequel someday, I would love to read about what Fluffy does next!

Princess Fuzzypants here: At first I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy this book. It had a very dark and dystopian feel to it but I am so glad I stuck with it. Fluffy is a beautiful kitty who is very smart. In fact, she is even smarter than the kitties of today, including me. Humans in the 22nd Century have managed to muck things up royally. They are only human.
But one good thing they did was to genetically enhance the intelligence of some animals. Sadly, the success of the program led some bad humans to fear the ultra intelligent creatures and want to eradicate them. Some of the animals join an underground movement to fight back. There are human allies as well, including Fluffy’s human dad who has raised her lovingly.
After Fluffy sets off to find the revolutionaries as well as the brother left behind when she was adopted., her Dad, at almost the same time, ends up on the run too. Both of them are trying to achieve similar ends but until they reunite, neither knows exactly how that will work. Together, animals and humans must steer an asteroid out of the path of Earth or it will mean the end of the planet. Together, they do just that.
What starts out as a bleak tale ends up being one of hope and promise. I love all the animals portrayed especially Fluffy who is as bright as she is beautiful. She is a lovely heroine. In spite of my initial misgivings, I adored the book.
It earns five purrs and two paws up.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Humans are scum, Fluffy."
The concept of a future (2135) where many domestic animals, notably dogs, cats, nice and pigs, have been genetically altered to enable them to communicate telepathically with each other and humans as well as developing the power of telekinesis sounded bizarre and intriguing so I started this book with great expectations. Especially given that I really love cats. Unfortunately, it was, to me, more a Lady and the Tramp story without the deliciousness and Peggy Lee, rather than an approachable science fiction tale, with the main character, Fluffy, leaving her 'Dad' at home to search for the brother, Jack, left behind when she was selected. The world is not an hospitable one for her, people fearing these genetically altered animals and trying to destroy them. Yes, it would make a decent cartoon, I guess, but seemed far too contrived to make an enjoyable (adult) read despite the good narration of Rob Hegner
It has taken me several attempts to finally finish this just over four hour book which I first started over two weeks ago. Only that basic idea and a good performance has, for me, raised it above a two star rating.

I got this ebook via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
With all of the issues facing animals today, I had hoped this would have some more relevance, and at least it does show empathy for animals, but in all other ways, it fell flat.
The characters are extremely flat, the writing awful, the dialogue stilted & unrealistic, & the villain a super typical animal-hater who just wants to erase all animals from existence.
This book had so much potential, & yet it just brings nothing to the table at all. It also kind of paints kill shelters & animal control in a bad light, making organizations like that out to be evil animal haters, when this is not the case at all. This book gives us animals that face conflict, with nothing that inspires readers to help the issues facing animals today.

Genetically Altered Brain (GAB) animals are being set up as humanity's enemy by the Triumvirate (3 corporations) that now rule the world. The book follows Fluffy the cat's adventures. "Humans are scum, Fluffy. Make no mistake about that," Professor James Riordan, the human Fluffy calls Dad, warns her.
Fascinating world building, interesting characters and cats that are as smart as I've always suspected! I enjoyed this book.

A good story.
I enjoyed this story about Fluffy and other animals who were intelligent, telepathic and telekinetic. Fluffy leaves the safety if her home to find her brother and Animal U. She makes new friends and faces danger. This is not a dark story. It is with tragedy, live and hope. I would like to see a book of what happened to those people who left Earth to live on another planet.

This was an excellent book. Genetically altered intelligent animals are targeted for extermination but end up saving the Earth and redeeming themselves in front of their foremost opponent. A great story for lovers of animals and science fiction.

I liked the idea of this one, but there were way, way, way too many coincidences for me to keep going. The story is about a world in which some animals have been genetically lifted, made smarter than even humans (this was done by accident, then the animals spread their better genes through the wild).

It’s not really baaaaad narration, but a lackluster performance leaves this as simply a charming listen

Dogs and cats to the rescue
A world gone mad against highly intelligent animals, exterminating them and these same animals saving the earth from destruction, what a read!

I didn't really like it unfortunately. I was comparing it to Tailchaser's Song and it didn't measure up. I hated the ending.

I enjoy stories about fur people, and how they can communicate with humans. This one is well written. Thank you for the gift copy

This was ok, the writing isn’t great and it was incredibly rushed. It could have been so much more but everything was just too easy!
