The distinction between each group of people as a different species is a nice touch so far, and makes it easier to distinguish what might otherwise have been difficult to read for select people. My favorite part so far through in the book is the sequence where he is asking his wife (I believe she's his wife) about what species they should be, before settling upon mice even though they are already mice and the book is already written, which is a very entertaining sequence to read.

I agree that making the different people different species of animals was a great idea it makes it much easier to understand the relationship between the people and for me made the book a lot more enjoyable. I think it might have been to much for me to read if it was written as a traditional novel and no animal symbolism.
