The Experiment is a plot-driven, complex story focusing on animal abuse and the immense power and overreach of Big Pharma.
Robin Lamont clearly knows her topic. The science presented is scary because it’s true. This could too easily happen and, in some ways, already has.

Usually when I read this type of book, the activists are presented as lunatic bad guys. Here, we see the struggles, reasoning, and, most importantly, humanity driving an animal protection group. I didn’t find the content heavy-handed, though it certainly is thought-provoking.

This is the third book in The Kinship Series. While it reads well as a stand-alone, I found myself wishing I’d read the other two first. The plot is specific to this book, and everything is resolved at the end, but I didn’t feel a strong connection to the characters as individuals outside the group and the mission. Despite that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story.
