Three stars. All the human men are insufferable self righteous pricks who make all of the animal men miserable by trying to turn them into insufferable self righteous pricks. Which may have been the point of the story, but doesn't make it engaging to read.
Unrelated: As a story that on the surface is an anti-science cautionary tale, this book savages Christianity as lived by upper class British people of the time. And maybe lots of people now.
