Jamie said Interesting psychological thriller. The book is a very interesting read. It details a year in the life of Max the stoat and all of the creatures that live in his area from hedgehogs, to blackbirds, to bumblebees. Each has a name, a personality, and its own way of life. The one thing they all have in common: their fight to survive.While not your conventional animal story - the book does not hesitate to convey the hardships of life. It is not a "nice" read, but the interesting descriptions of things from an animal's perspective, coupled with Hardy's dark humor, makes for an entertaining book. The reader is constantly wondering who will. and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys an edgy This book is so incredibly interesting as a narrative which all at once humanizes the animal characters, while at the same time pointing out vast differences between animal existence and human existence. Each character has a name, interacts verbally on some level with the main character, Max, and is motivated to act by entirely non-human ways of thinking. It is cold and remote, but factual and realistic. I find that the anthropomorphic main character has a very interesting perspective, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys an edgy, macabre and frank look in to the daily realities of life. An exce. I would recommend this only to readers 13 and up Michelle Each Day a Small Victory chronicles Max the stoat's daily struggle for survival in the countryside over a course of a year. While the novel does depict scenes of animals violence and death, it is neither glorified nor overdone. The black humor and macabre tone of the book help to balance out the carnage. That being said, I would recommend this only to readers 13 and up, as some themes may upset younger readers. But if you're searching for a story in a similar vein to Watership Down, then I would definitely recommend giving Each Day a Small Victory a read-through.
