Review:

I listened to this book in the car and it was bad because I kept wanting to find a reason to go out to the car and listen to it.  If sentient spiders aren't your thing, then this is probably not the book for you--just sayin.  I really enjoyed the pace, timing, and novelty of this book.  The flipping back and forth between the humans and the spiders was excellent.  I did not see the end coming, although there are plenty of hints.  This was really a good book.

This book was richer because I also happened to be listening to An Immense World at the same time.  This helped me understand how different animals view the world differently from humans and the information both books meshed really well.
