Double meaning behind the title and word "vegetarian."
The P.O.V. switches from first-person to third-person, which feels inconsistent when pieced together as a whole novel. (*Note: Originally, the different perspectives in the book were written separately before being joined together as a novel.) (0 more)

It's a great book, the author has such a creative mind! Have you read her other books? Latest one is Human Acts. It's very different.

I have Human Acts on my desk at work. I've been a little busy lately, but I hope to pick it up and read it soon. (:
