That sounds like Little Riding Hood in which case it is not about having fur - I personally found out the story can be read as a cationary tale to young women about the danger of... male lust when I was older. I didn't need fur to understand that interpretation.

Another favourite - brainless female. Anything he doesn't understand or doesn't like - this is what he says. How can I like a character that is trying for a love interest when he says this about the MC????

The humans are being so nice it makes The Others look even more irrational.

I know The Others aren't stupid, but scenes like this, where they don't get it or come to a completely different conclusion made them look stupid, make ME frustrated. I understand the argument the book is trying to make in this section - what behaviour is learned "subconciously" like the note taking, how much is their Otherness about little things no one bothered to explain. Doesn't make it better to witness it.

You were doing so great!! Should have ended it with a slap, that would teach him. Yes, you should have more and less control over the cutting, that is clear but Simon is obviously not the right person to trust with it.

HE DID IT ON PURPOSE??? HE WANTED TO GET ANGRY?????? Well, now I am angry.

I know this mistake is important for them to figure out (for Simon to admit) to what's wrong - what's the source of "the sickness" but gosh, do I want to smack the wolf. Repeatedly.

I am from now on alergic to the words "squeeky toy" and may have a developing allergy to Simon's POV.

Yes, please tell me more about how Simon doesn't care about anything that isn't about him, do go on, it makes me like him so much better.

Did I say I like this version of romance? I take it back. This guy is thinking about another guy licking butter (from popcorn eating) from Meg's fingers and it makes him jealous. Is this supposed to be cute? A symbol of how different Simon is? I think it makes Simon look even more stupid than he already was and I find myself wishing there was no romance if this is what I get.
