Odd John and Sirius

I’d like an evolutionary upgrade, too, please… but not if it comes with Odd John’s weird looks and his casual contempt for the lives of homo sapiens. I also had a problem with his super-intelligent compatriots’ histrionic tendency to commit suicide—or blow up their island paradise—whenever some run-of-the-mill human fondled them the wrong way. In fact, now that I think about it with my puny, standard-issue cerebral cortex, the only things I really admired about Odd John and his ilk were the telepathic abilities and the license to practice free love with super-intelligent—and super-hot—island babes.
