Carmen Dog

Rating:
Summary: Highly amusing social commentary
Review: "Women are turning into animals, and animals are turning into women..." What a way to start off a book. Pooch, a dog-girl who longs to play the title role in "Carmen," absconds with a baby whose mother is becoming a turtle. Along the way, she meets many other intriguing characters, among them a snake-woman and a vicious socialite who is quickly becoming what her personality most resembles (namely, a wolverine). And in the meanwhile, the world as we know it is turnig upside-down.

This book was funny; however, the way that it poked fun at gender roles and modern-day society went much deeper than mere humor.
