This book just never clicked for me, I listened to it via audiobook read by Humphrey Bower and maybe the unusual writing style linked to the world-building just didn't come across well to me. This could not, however, make up for the unappealing main character. His disdain for his own dog early on was never going to work for me.

I found the story repetitive although I suspect this will improve as a series I'm not sure I want on for the whole ride.

"I’m a sucker for films of the “boy/girl and his/her dog (lion/bear/whatever)” variety. I love gritty British kitchen-sink dramas of the sixties. I love a good angry-kid coming-of-age film. Kes has it all, minus the sentimentality and anthropomorphism of so many animal films. My heart aches for the kid and his bird—I just want their companionship, his only form of stability, to last forever. Fantastic, bittersweet score by John Cameron. My favorite Ken Loach film. "
