Title: great but enragingly disappointing ending
Product review: Empire of the Ants is quite captivating and well written - and seems to be leading up to a mind-blowing final act. I found myself completely caught up in the story - the intrigue appearing to point toward some sort of a revelation that ants and humans are the same - not metaphorically, but metaphysically. I believe that the ideas I had for where I thought the story was going to lead me were immensely more interesting than the way the book ultimately finished. That is certainly not to say I am a storytelling genius - it is to say that the ending of this book really, really sucks. I mean, I was so let down I wanted to throw this book into a magma pool. However, there are no magma pools around here so I sold it to Half Price Books instead.
