My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I found Not Wanted ... hard to get into, it being partially from the perspective of a cat, after all. But I stuck with it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing is top notch, and the little details simply stick in your gullet as you're reading. There's some scenes I will never forget.
I've had a couple discussions about the book as I was reading, and it seems that different people come away with very different interpretations of the book. But by the end I think I had a pretty good handle on it. I wouldn't recommend it for everybody; I think it takes a more discerning reader to appreciate it. But it was certainly a well-crafted novel, and deserves its place as a modern classic.
