"Shades" is a series of short novels that doesnt short change on drama, pace, quality of writing or style. Ideal for readers who may find traditional teen novels too daunting, but still crave the excitement of clever plot lines, well-rounded characters and fast-paced writing. Jamie Littlewood is as bald as the monkey he's looking after at the local animal lab. The drug company he works for says the monkey is helping find a cure. His sister Petra says the animal experiments they are doing are wrong. Who is right? And what happens if Jamie has to choose?

Etat : Used. In a world where the line between human and animal feels as blurred as a toddler?s finger painting, Malcolm Rose?s Animal Lab invites readers to consider just how far we?re willing to go in the name of scientific ambition?or if we?ve already gone too far and just forgot to send a postcard back home. Published in the illustrious year of 2008 by Evans Brothers Limited, this exhilarating exploration of the moral conundrums surrounding animal experimentation will make you question your last trip to the zoo. Spoiler alert: the giraffes may be judging you. Set in a laboratory where the ambiance smells faintly of both hope and desperation, Animal Lab twirls through the lives of enthusiastic scientists who are just a tick away from becoming mad, although they probably just refer to themselves as ?eccentric.? With an air of self-importance reminiscent of a university professor on too much caffeine, this tale weaves a patchwork of ethical dilemmas and desperate cries for scientific validation, which is likely more than what you?d find at your average book club discussion. The characters here are as diverse as a bag of Jelly Babies, yet they all seem to congregate around the shared belief that animals are merely stepping stones on the path to human enlightenment?or at least that?s what they tell themselves during coffee breaks. Expect to meet a cast that includes the overly ambitious lab director, the conflicted intern who may or may not be allergic to ethics, and a particularly insightful hamster that might just have more wisdom than your average human. And yes, there?s definitely a hamster?because what?s a lab without a furry little philosopher? As the plot thickens like a poorly made gravy, we?re presented with a host of questions that the characters may or may not bother to answer, such as: Is it morally acceptable to splice human DNA with that of a goldfish for the sake of a science fair project? What happens when your test subject can outsmart your lab equipment? Can you still label yourself a ?pet lover? if you?re conducting experiments that could make Dr. Frankenstein wince? Is it too late to take up knitting as a career instead? Could the hamster actually be the real mastermind behind the entire operation? Condition: This book is used, having been lovingly thumbed through by previous owners who may or may not have been on an existential quest of their own. Expect the pages to bear the marks of curiosity, possibly featuring a few underlined passages where someone thought they were having an epiphany. The cover shows slight signs of wear, suggesting that it has been well-loved?or perhaps merely tossed around during a heated debate about the ethical implications of animal testing. Either way, it adds character, much like a well-worn armchair that has seen better days but still retains a certain charm. In a story where the stakes are higher than that time you accidentally fed your pet goldfish a whole slice of cake, Rose captures the absurdity of our scientific pursuits and our desperate need to feel superior to the creatures we share this planet with. So grab your lab coat and a snack (preferably not a slice of cake), and plunge into this quirky narrative that promises to challenge your views while poking fun at the very institutions we hold dear. Whether you?re a curious mind or simply in search of a quirky addition to your shelf, Animal Lab from Crappy Old Books will undoubtedly leave you both amused and slightly horrified. After all, who knew that a mere book could lead to a full-blown ethical crisis about your pet choices? Happy reading! THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 590
