Pressestimmen
"This book, to put the matter quite simply, is a masterpiece. . . .Exhilaratingly thought-provoking."--The Sunday Times (London)"A marvel of warped imagination and offbeat suspense."--British Esquire"Like Watership Down, to which it will inevitably be compared, Werber's astonishing first novel invites readers into a highly imagined animal world."--Publishers Weekly(starred review)

If you are fascinated by Ants, then this is a must read. Introduces the Ant world very nicely.The human world in the book is however a little bizarre.
I admit that after watching my kid's ant farm, my interest in the life of the ant led me to various research books, and inevitably to this book. Who could not admire this tiny insect's social structure after learning more about them and spending hours watching them interact in a large ant farm. Soon, we began capturing ant colonies and adding males, and hoping to find a queen, which alas, we never did.This book was recommended to me throught Amazon when I searched for furthur information about ants. Not sure what to expect, I bought the book and to my delight really enjoyed it.It is one of the more unique stories I have ever read, and probably not a story that would work for everyone. I feel you would enjoy this book more if you are a fan of the insect and nature world. You can appreciate the research the author put into the novel, and I really came away with a higher respect for ants and the ant world in general. The story is a stretch in the imagination, which is what makes it so fun. I have read other reviews where some readers are annoyed that it wasn't a perfect scientific representation of the insect. For me, it was close enough and spurned my whole family's interest furthur in learning more about them. For the most part, we just sat back and really had fun reading this book and wondering what would it be like to be an ant.
This French novel is borderline science-fiction marketed as straight fiction. It's a very captivating story as the narrative alternates between a family who, one-by-one, mysteriously vanish into the basement of home they've just inherited, and the struggle of a few ants to discover what lies behind some mysterious forces threatening their city. Of course the two are related, but its not clear how until the end. The genius of the book is its incredibly evocative portrait of ant life, including the politics of a federation of ant cities, the threats of other species, and just their whole life cycle. It's a quite remarkable achievement to be able to make this stuff so fascinating. You will never think about ants the same way, and of course, this is meant to make us think about ourselves as well.
I am a regular reader of murder mystery novels, and the mystery element of this story sucked me right in. The clever melding of the human and ant storylines kept me guessing as to how they would finally converge, and what the outcome would be. If I have any criticism, it is that the human characters were not written as strongly as the ant characters. I could not wait for lunch hour to come every day so I could see what dangers and adventures lie ahead for 357 and the other ant characters. I wanted so much for them to survive and to succeed at uncovering the mysteries they were investigating. I never thought I'd be shedding tears for ants, but this book made me care deeply for these noble characters and feel sad when one of them succumbed to life's ever-present dangers. Don't waste energy comparing this book to "Watership Down." Just enjoy it for what it is.
Partially because of the harsher criticism, I feel it necessary to address the question of translation. In the original French it is a rich and complex work that may simply not correspond to the structure of the endlish language. The subtlety of character explored within the nuances of his vocabulary did not (I felt) translate into the english version, but rather became akward and stilted as the translator tried to state what Werber had implied. Translation aside, the work remains fascinating in its exploration of alternatives to the stereotype of the hive mind. Rather than glorifying or desparaging the idea of a hive mind, Werber examines it as a fascinating contrast to human society, even using it to develop a light critique of certain aspects intrinsic in an individualistic society. The society of ants is thoughtfully constructed giving a balanced view of the positive aspects of a group mentality and some of the elements that are lacking due to the lessened degree of individuality - art, poetry etc. The Wells family, representing the smallest unit of human society, is shown in the process of confronting problems. Simultaneously the hive is shown solving problems. The two methods and ideologies emerge and teach much on the nature of our problem-solving, and reveal interesting ideas concerning human nature. By shifting frequently between the humans and the ants facing similar situations, Werber heightens the suspense, driving the plot, and causing the reader to continue his exploration of the diverse philosophies contained in the book. The shifting is somewhat clumsier in english, but worthwhile still(in french there are many subtle phoenetic ties and repeated phrases). Overall an interesting read and thoughtful look at human response to difficulty. END
