review 1: I thought this was pretty darned hilarious. The Eiias actually had a hamster that they named Edward. They found him to be particularly gloomy. He lived and died in 1990. They wrote this book as if Edward had kept a diary, a deeply existential, of course gloomy, grim reflection on the empty, hopeless existence of a hamster. He encounters two other hamsters, a cat, owners, but not much append, of course. Just these little daily reflections. It's of course a satire about owning a hamster for a pet and also a satire on gloomy, overly philosophical people… I guess I might say it is not that varied as a story, a kind of one-note joke, but I still thought it was very funny. Hilarious. Read it! Then light a cigarette, have a Scotch, take out your Rimbaud and read… ah, what's ... morethe point, after all?
review 2: Edward is a hamster, he is a writer, and he is miserable. This is the story of Edward, really his journal and experiences as a hamster, a miserable, trapped, hamster. I read a few reviews and a few people found this to be a funny little tale, but I found it a little depressing and sad…poor hamster. Edward thinks of the outside world as freedom but cannot find it in himself to break free and leave his captivity. He is sad and lonely and trying to make sense of his situation, a pet hamster.Edward has cagemates but they are not always to his liking ad his knowledge of freedom often is a burden. I think this is why the story seemed so sad to me. Edward does not like his home, his pet parents, or his wheel/ ball/ or maze and yet he is trapped physically and emotionally to them all.Most of the book was made up of pictures and short little entries and they were both cute and interesting. I was hoping for less heavy words from Edward. less
