Title: A good idea, better without people.
Product review: Empire of the Ants is a fascinating view of these social insects. By showing the ants' alien thought process in a context that the average reader can understand, Werber has created an incredibly vivid portrait of the world under our feet. The problem lies with the human characters that interact with the ants, leading to an anticlimax that takes away from the "Empire's" own struggles. Allowing humans to be supporting characters in this genre(Watership Down) may be helpful but they should not actively participate. It takes away from the world that was created and lessens it.
