Wow. So much has happened already. Jesus Christ! I feel claustrophobic and my heart is aching. The end of chapter 21. ****!

I'm glad that the author did what he did with the story hardly 50 pages in. Actually, it was even there just a couple of pages in. I could easily see other authors dragging the story so that the same thing happens at the end of book #1. Because this event or this transition is so huge, both for the story and the reader who is invested in it, doing it just at 50 pages into the book makes me excited for what's to come.

F***! The "good boy" expressions are getting me good. I hope I don't end up bawling by the end. Damn. This is a high-stakes adult story even though the premise of dogs and other animals being engineered to be super-soldiers sounds like something that belongs to a kids tv show.

Interesting! I don't know if I will get tired of the 'good boy', 'bad boy' feedback loop being mentioned so much.

Rex is a GOOD BOY. He kills enemies for his master. He is a super-soldier, mounted with BIG BOYS (guns) on his shoulder. He is the leader of a pack of animals used in battle, all trained, genetic-modified for killing enemies. The feedback loop in his heads say he is a good boy after killing enemies. But.
