Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Grandma's crazy house is a nice metaphor for how things can be different from expectations and yet still be perfectly useful. Zhanzhan gradually learns his grandmother's lesson; that making the best use of your past (the only way evolution works) can be the best choice for the future.
Con: The ending is a bit forced. The thief next door serves little real purpose in the story. And, unlike evolution, real people need to make some intelligent decisions.
