In a vastly overpopulated near-future world, businesses have taken the place of governments and now hold all political power. States exist merely to ensure the survival of huge transnational corporations. Advertising has become hugely aggressive and boasts some of the world's most powerful executives.

Through advertising, the public is constantly deluded into thinking that all the products on the market improve the quality of life. However, the most basic elements are incredibly scarce, including water and fuel.

The planet Venus has just been visited and judged fit for human settlement, despite its inhospitable surface and climate; colonists would have to endure a harsh climate for many generations until the planet could be terraformed.

Mitch Courtenay is a star-class copywriter in the Fowler Schocken advertising agency and has been assigned the ad campaign that would attract colonists to Venus, but a lot more is happening than he knows about. Mitch is soon thrown into a world of danger, mystery, and intrigue, where the people in his life are never quite what they seem, and his loyalties and core beliefs will be put to the test.

Poor durability
Style: Bundle
Stuffing was everywhere in minutes. The fabric is as thin as a carnival prize. I like the idea but it needs better execution.

Been an hour! Update days later

And he is still going at the brown monkey. I am shocked. Usually he's ripped his toy to shreds right now. LOL. Amazing! I'll update this review with the photo and the actual time to destruction. Update: Few days later, he killed it. Not sure where the stuffing came from inside the monkey, but we put it back together and loves to sleep with it. He's working on it again. I am just so amazed. I thought he was gonna finish it tonight, but he got tired since his job wasn't accomplished. LOL

Will NOT last more than a few days!
Style: Bundle, Style: Bundle
Fun for about 2 days then the tearing off of the legs, led to tearing it up to get the stuffing out. The ears and tail do not tear off and that was the first thing to go, then the destruction continued until it was nothing but a pile of fluff and sadness. Not durable at all, but they were happy to destroy it!

Good toy but snags carpet + difficult for small dog
Style: Bundle
My biggest complaint is the Velcro placement. When the arms and legs are detached, the rough (hook) side of the Velcro is on those pieces, so they stick to and snag the carpet. The soft (loop) side is attached to the body of the toy. I really wish this were reversed to prevent snagging. Also, my small 10 lb dog isn’t quite strong enough to detach the arms and legs when they’re fully secured. We have to fasten them loosely to make it manageable for her.
