There are a few things Henry Denton knows, and a few things he doesn’t.
Henry knows that his mom is struggling to keep the family together, and coping by chain-smoking cigarettes. He knows that his older brother is a college dropout with a pregnant girlfriend. He knows that he is slowly losing his grandmother to Alzheimer’s. And he knows that his boyfriend committed suicide last year.
What Henry doesn’t know is why the aliens chose to abduct him when he was thirteen, and he doesn’t know why they continue to steal him from his bed and take him aboard their ship. He doesn’t know why the world is going to end or why the aliens have offered him the opportunity to avert the impending disaster by pressing a big red button.
But they have. And they’ve only given him 144 days to make up his mind.
The question is whether Henry thinks the world is worth saving. That is, until he meets Diego Vega, an artist with a secret past who forces Henry to question his beliefs, his place in the universe, and whether any of it really matters. But before Henry can save the world, he’s got to figure out how to save himself, and the aliens haven’t given him a button for that.

Wow, just finished this book, and honestly, my mind is still a bit… buzzed. I went in with zero expectations, just saw the cover and the intriguing title, "We Are the Ants," and decided to dive in. And what a dive it was! The author has this incredible ability to weave a narrative that feels both intensely personal and cosmically vast. I found myself completely absorbed in the protagonist's journey, feeling every flicker of doubt, every surge of determination. It’s not a story that spoon-feeds you answers; instead, it invites you to ponder, to question the very fabric of existence and our place within it. I’m not usually one for philosophical musings in my reading, but this book managed to sneak them in so seamlessly, wrapped in a compelling plot that kept me turning pages late into the night. There are moments of quiet introspection that are just as powerful as the more dramatic sequences, and the pacing is masterful. I loved how the story unfolded, revealing layers of meaning and complexity that I hadn’t anticipated. It’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you’ve closed the final page, prompting conversations and sparking new perspectives. I’m still processing some of the themes and imagery, and I have a feeling I’ll be returning to this one in my thoughts for a long time to come. A truly unique and thought-provoking experience.
评分To say I was blown away by "We Are the Ants" would be an understatement. This novel is a whirlwind of ideas, emotions, and unforgettable moments. The author possesses an extraordinary talent for crafting a narrative that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. I was hooked from the very beginning, drawn into a world that felt both strangely familiar and utterly surreal. The pacing is impeccable, with moments of quiet reflection seamlessly blending with bursts of intense action and profound revelation. I found myself constantly questioning my own perceptions and assumptions, as the story challenged me to think differently about the world and my place in it. The characters are so vividly realized that they feel like people I’ve known, and their journeys are both heartbreaking and inspiring. The prose is elegant and powerful, creating a rich and immersive reading experience. What I appreciated most was the book’s ability to tackle complex philosophical concepts without ever feeling inaccessible or overwhelming. It’s a testament to the author’s skill that they can weave such profound insights into a compelling and utterly engaging story. This is a book that will linger in my mind, prompting reflection and sparking conversation for years to come. A truly exceptional and transformative read.
评分This book, "We Are the Ants," is a masterclass in storytelling. I was utterly captivated from start to finish. The way the narrative unfolds is just brilliant; it’s not a linear progression, but rather a series of interconnected events that build upon each other, creating a tapestry of suspense and wonder. The author has a gift for creating atmosphere, and I felt completely immersed in the world they’ve created. There’s a sense of mystery that pervades the entire story, a feeling that there’s always more beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered. And the characters! They are so incredibly well-developed, each with their own unique voice and motivations. I found myself constantly trying to understand their choices, to piece together their pasts, and to anticipate their futures. The themes explored are incredibly thought-provoking, touching on aspects of existence that we often overlook in our daily lives. It’s the kind of book that sparks endless discussions and leaves you with so much to ponder. The writing is beautiful, precise, and powerful, making every word count. I’m still reeling from the impact of this story, and I know it’s one that will stay with me for a very long time. A truly remarkable achievement.
评分From the very first chapter, "We Are the Ants" grabbed me and refused to let go. The sheer audacity of the premise, coupled with the author’s skillful execution, made for an absolutely unforgettable read. I’ve always been drawn to stories that push the boundaries of what’s possible, and this book certainly does that. It’s a thrilling ride, filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. But beyond the excitement, there’s a deep emotional core to this story that resonated with me profoundly. The characters are so richly drawn, so complex, and so human, even when faced with the utterly extraordinary. I found myself rooting for them, worrying about them, and feeling a genuine connection to their struggles and triumphs. The author’s prose is sharp and evocative, painting a picture of a world that is both familiar and alien, beautiful and terrifying. I particularly appreciated the way the story tackled big ideas without ever feeling preachy or heavy-handed. It’s a delicate balance, and this author strikes it perfectly. I closed the book feeling a sense of wonder, a touch of melancholy, and a newfound appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit. Highly, highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly exceptional reading experience.
评分Honestly, I was a little hesitant at first. The title, "We Are the Ants," sounded a bit… small, maybe even insignificant. But oh, how wrong I was. This book is anything but small. It’s a sprawling, ambitious exploration of interconnectedness, of the ripple effects of our actions, and the profound realization of our shared humanity, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. The narrative voice is distinct, almost like a whispered secret shared between the reader and the characters. I was immediately drawn into this world, feeling a kinship with the people navigating its complexities. The author excels at creating vivid imagery, painting scenes that linger in the mind’s eye long after the words are read. It’s not a straightforward plot; it’s more like a mosaic, with each piece contributing to a larger, more intricate picture. I found myself constantly trying to connect the dots, to understand the underlying currents that drive the story forward. And the ending… well, let’s just say it’s not something you’ll forget easily. It left me with a sense of awe and a deep appreciation for the subtle yet powerful ways we influence each other and the world around us. This is a book that demands your attention, your contemplation, and rewards you with a rich and resonant reading experience.

评分Depression isn't a war you win. It's a battle you fight every day. You never stop, never get to rest. It's one bloody fray after another.”
评分目前为止看的最喜欢的书,写出了一个如此悲伤又凄美的故事,书中有关抑郁症的描述实在是太压抑了,很喜欢作者不是把重点放在lgbt上而是描绘一些我们这一代人感同身受的东西,这个世界糟透了,活着有什么意义,人类的存在有什么用,最后得出的人生态度:记住过去,活在当下,写出未来,虽然我们人类的存亡或许对宇宙来说毫无意义,但是我们每个人的人生都是有意义的
