This took me a while to finish. I found it to be okay, but likely forgettable.

The characters were interesting, but I felt the city talk was kind of forced and unnatural. I didn't know what they were saying sometimes.

That's really all I have to say about this book. It was okay and that's it.

Here are my notes during reading. WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW -Ragweed can read English. -The cats are racists. -Blinker is probably named that because he blinks along. Little man cannot see. -Blinker and Ragweed have similar stories. Ragweed wants to leave the country to explore the city and Blinker wants to leave his house to explore the city. I honestly find more interest in Blinker's story. -"An amateur worries about the work before starting; a professional worries about the work when finished." -"Keep on living till we die. No other way. And there's nothing we can do about it. But hey, baby, live with regrets and you'll wind up regretting living." -Towards the end, I realized Ragweed is just train hopping.
