pickIn a dystopian world where a virus has made animal meat inedible, humans are now bred as game and “special meat.” Marcos works at a processing facility, and as his personal life seems to be falling apart, he begins to question the society he exists in.
Spent 90% of the book, feeling sick to my stomach with the same creepy uneasy I get whenever I read Lord of the Flies. But the ending was perfectly done, and I‘m not sure what that says about me.
so-soUmmmm…this one was rough! Not only is the subject matter unsettling but the audiobook narrator‘s lack of inflection or feeling in his voice was particularly disturbing and sometimes monotonous. I also really didn‘t like the ending either and there is a part dealing with puppies that I especially hated (which might sound weird given everything else going on). The overall theme though of the worth of humanity was intriguing. 🌟🌟🌟
wowzers…the opening scene did not disappoint…i‘m hooked…starting the month with this… #spookyreads #halloweenseason #readinglife #readinggoal #audiophile

pickThis was a hard book to read. For me it was similar to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which was also a difficult, brutal, and haunting read. I have to appreciate both the author and the translator for taking the means they did with the book and being specific about their wording and terms.
This is haunting, bleak, tense, disgusting, and disquieting but it's also well written, and an odd page turner. One more book off the TBR!
pickImagine getting out of your city life to write a new book. Imagine this small town having this perfect cabin for you. It‘s been empty for over a year. There‘s dust everywhere and some weird items up in the attic. Perfect regardless right? Well. What if I told you that cabin wasn‘t left alone for no reason. Highly recommend the unrated version. It‘s more graphic and leaves you with a more bleak outlook.
So weird but also good. Just go in blind and read it
