Utopian novels never work for me partially because they seem to ignore the differences in human beings, assuming the same thing will render everyone happy. In this one, that thing is actually physical hard work for unattractive jobs. This idea of a socialist heaven assumes most people just like to work and there will always be people willing to do work even if there is no financial incentive to bridge the damand-supply gap. Scarcity of resources is the postulate of economics - I could be persuaded that overall scarcity can be addressed in some distant future but not local scarcity for some of the more risky or unattractive jons - not without added incentive. Additionally, it is my understanding that many (not all, not even most) don't like to work at all but only enjoy their life through parties (at least I don't like to work). The author also doesn't seem to be aware of presence of psychopaths and serial killers. The funniest thing is story is set in 2003 and almost none of author's predictions seem to have come true.

Metamorphosis (things changing their forms) is a theme as old as Ovid but there are like a handful of fiction that carry out well enough - a few that comes to mind are Metamorphosis by Ovid (nothing as magical), Metamorphosis by Kafka, Dr Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and Satanic Verses. There are many others that are forgetable (mostly about zombies, werewolves, etc.) Pig Tales manages to capture the elements of metamorphosis quite well. Despite occassional errotic suggestions, it does touch many themes. The best part to me though is the narrative itself. It is probably goiing to be the strangest book I will read whole year. I don't know why it isn't more well known.
