Disclosure: I was first introduced to Flidderbugs on Independent Authors and Writers where I thought the post about it was impressive enough to make it "book of the day". Jonathon Gould was kind enough to give me a 100 percent discount to the Smashwords version of Flidderbugs. We came to an understanding that was not why I gave the blog post high praise and that I appreciate the opportunity to read the book with an open mind and an honest review.Two clans of Flidderbugs who via for the position of Ruling class and gain the honor of holding "The Shears".I think Flidderbugs could be considered a Political Allegory. This book shows how the "behind the scenes" of politics can interfere with the ecological health of a given population. Mr. Gould incorporates so much emotions and senses into these 'bugs that the reader relates to them on a human level. I even thought at one point the book might have a "Romeo and Juliet" theme running through it but you the reader will have to find out why.
