“We the Animals” is a 125-page novella chronicling a specific time in a poor, half-Puerto Rican boy’s life. Rather than tell the story in the normal fashion with a beginning and an end and some climax in the middle, Justin Torres gives the reader glimpses into the memory of the seven-year-old narrator. We follow him and his two brothers as they wander the backdrop of Brooklyn and navigate a tumultuous marriage and an abusive father. The time period is set a few years in the past, but Torres never directly states the year. The reader only has certain hints to go off of like readily available VHS tapes. The themes in the book circled around vulnerability and how the family dynamic played a role in making the narrator feel that way.The other themes were much less interesting and more cliché. For one, the narrator’s family grew up poor. Poverty is an on-going cliché in many novels that you read and if it is done well, then it doesn’t have to be. But, unfortunately in “We the Animals” it didn’t work for me because it was also paired with a dysfunctional family, an abusive father character, and the weak mother character who you sort of want to feel bad for but you also want to scream at because she does nothing to stand up for herself or for her children forcing the main characters to be their own parents. To run rampant and go on a variety of adventures (or face some misadventures at times) and deal with their situation in ways they seem fit. Sound familiar? Probably, because I can already name twenty books with this exact theme.But, that's not all. I mentioned before that it was told in small vignettes from the narrator’s memory as he was perhaps looking back on these events as an adult and decided to retell them. There lacked a plot, from what I could tell. I couldn’t find a distinguishable climax, unless you count the ending, which felt like a small zap as you inch closer and closer to a hot wire. Slowly, hesitantly, lolling yourself into a false sense of security until you finally touch it and it hurts and you think “where did that come from?” That was how the ending felt for me. For a little over three-quarters of the book you hear these accounts from a small child, then suddenly he grows up. No longer the innocent child but a young man and Torres showed it well. But the whole ending felt rather rushed. Suddenly you find out that he’s gay. And suddenly he let some random bus driver rape him. The format of the plot of this book is a little like a country road. It’s got a few bumps that rattle your car as you drive over them, but if you look at the road from a bird’s eye view, you’ll see that it is mostly flat and monotonous. Then, you reach the climax, or the hill in the road and just start climbing but there’s a cliff and you drive right off it. The ending was not much of an ending at all, just the place where Torres decided to stop writing. As a reader, I was hoping for more growth in the character, now that he was older and could reflect on his past life. But before I could even get to that point, Torres ends. Nothing was resolved and the character that had some dimension as a child, quickly became one-dimensional at the end. “We the Animals” was jarring, yet quirky and interesting at the start. It was simply the account of three boys growing up and having fun and going on adventures while they meandered through the rockiness of their parents’ mistakes and dysfunctionality. But, when it finally started to climb to some sort of climax, that’s when the book began going downhill.
