Sentient By Jay VanLandingham
Publisher: Climb That Mountain Press
Several Reviews
REVIEWS:
"Sentient is a heart-touching, evocative, and ominous novel that explores
the boundaries of human consciousness and the potentials we have to
communicate with animals. Set in 2040, VanLandingham's artful prose weaves
several plot threads with striking parallels that shine light on issues we
are facing today with startling and powerful impact. The book helps us hear
the voices of countless animals, and contemplate what they would say to us
if we could hear them. If you are fascinated with animals, philosophy, and
adventure, you will most likely enjoy this timely and stimulating book."
— Dr. Will Tuttle, Ph.D., author of the international best-seller, The World
Peace Diet.
"VanLandingham forges a powerful story of three characters who seek to
create safe lives for themselves and their loved ones, whether human or
animal... Sentient's ability to call into question the survival tactics of a
disparate society makes it a hard-hitting, action-packed story that combines
well with a teen coming-of-age backdrop to appeal to both teen and adult
readers of dystopian sci-fi."
— Midwest Book Review
"Sentient delves into multiple current topics including ecoterrorism,
resource scarcity, the animal rights movement, gender norms, sexuality, and
the human condition. Bray's connection with Alice is well-developed and
presents an uncomfortable truth that humans kill animals for food, and the
animals often suffer cruel living conditions ended by a violent death..."
— Reedsy Discovery
"Sentient will take you on a roller coaster of adventure through the eyes of
both humans and animals. Feel what the animals feel, strive to take down
those who keep you captive, fight to stop the revolt, and desire to be
listened to. Learn from this story, though we are all different, every life
is important..."
— Felisha Antonette, author of the Separation Trilogy and The Sephlem
Trials, from the Back Cover
