The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore

The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore (2011) by Benjamin Hale. It is very seldom that I quit reading a book in the middle. I made it through 300 pages of this book and then I just couldn't go on. This novel features a first-person narrative by a chimpanzee -- a very intelligent chimpanzee -- named Bruno. The sticking point for me is that Bruno falls in love with a human woman named Lydia and commences a sexual relationship with her, which she consents to. I just couldn't buy it. The technical term for it is bestiality, and I found it utterly disgusting to contemplate. This was not a book that I enjoyed reading, and I can't see any reason to keep reading a book when you're not enjoying it. Grade: F
