⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Intense read for an intense boat ride! Creepy dystopian about a world without non-human animals… not a world I‘d like to live in. #cannibalism #dystopia #thoroughlydisturbed

LeahBergen Was it rough sailing? That added to this book = 🤢 1mo
shantireads11 Rough sailing, rough book 😂 hahah both made me nauseous at points! 1mo

“I just like cannabilism.” - me
“There‘s a Facebook status” - my husband

I don‘t do FB so I‘m sharing with all of you. 😂

**He secretly thinks I will eat him if necessary.

Bookzombie Context: I was explaining that I want to see the latest movie about the rugby players who crashed in the Andes in 1972, Society of Snow. I digressed into talking about reading Alive in HS and then made that statement. 1mo
Ruthiella Totally understand! I like reading what a YouTuber coined as “disaster woman narrative” about women on the edge, making bad decisions. My own life is much more sedate. 1mo

Reggie Lololol. When the lists for major book awards come out, I‘ve never read any of them. BUT when you put up the cannibal post, I‘ve only not read 3 of these. 1mo
Bookzombie @Reggie lol! I‘m the same about all the major book awards. 1mo
FlowerFairy I‘ve read five of these. So I guess I‘ll join you in the dinner party. 🤣 4w

Holy forkballs this book was so disturbing and so good! If you are squeamish, you may find it difficult to get past the idea of cannibalism, but if you can, the message of this book comes through loud and clear. The dehumanization of certain individuals, the blight of factory farming, capitalism coming above everything else, and the fragile state of the world due to our own gross abuse of our environment.

all_4_kb I remember this book…. 2mo

A very clever and unique dystopian novel where cannibalism is legalised.
I described the plot to my colleagues today, and they were hooked 🤣
This is certainly not for those of a squeamish nature, and it is deeply unnerving.
Also, the last sentence made me throw my book at the wall.

4.25⭐
Did this bring anything new to the dystopian genre…not really. But it was fun and these characters were surprisingly warmhearted for a gang of cannibals. The narration by Stephanie Willis was very well performed.

Mehso-so

This book dives right into a dystopian world where people are farming people and killing them for meat. It is worth the read, especially for some of the statements it makes, but be aware this isn‘t for the faint of heart.

Well, Covid finally got me. 😭
This book was…not my cup of tea. It‘s gruesome, icky, political, and definitely makes me want to give up meat.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh! I‘m sorry you‘re sick ❤️‍🩹 6mo
BarbaraBB Covid… so sorry! And a pick nevertheless?! 6mo
TheLudicReader Haha, @BarbaraBB yes, a pick anyway because it‘s objectively a good book, just not for me. 6mo

TheLudicReader @dabbe @LeahBergen and @ShelleyBooksie , I am hanging in there. I still don‘t have any energy…for example, I just changed Lily‘s water filter and now I have to sit down. (edited) 6mo
Reggie I hope you feel better. Also, after I read this like 3 Decembers ago. I went vegan for 6 months. I couldn‘t look at meat the same way for awhile. I kept thinking of those people. Oof. 6mo
TheLudicReader Thanks, @Reggie I feel okay, but I am still home. That book was so freakin‘ bleak…and gross. And I hear you about the meat…and since I can taste anything anyway…🤷‍♀️ 6mo

Due to a highly contagious (and questionable) disease all animals are killed. In order to keep up with the demand for meat we turn to eating humans...

I'm not sure I'd recommend this to anyone, though it is a pick. If the above quote doesn't tell you what to expect, I don't know what would. This was a rough one, especially because it doesn't feel that far-fetched...
