It was brutal

Please mind the trigger warnings. I had to pause the audio book because it was just too much. Especially the pets. I couldn't do that. Yes, it's dark, it's harsh, it's brutal. It's pure flesh. Sadly, I can totally see humanity acting this way. Just take a look around. How close are we? What does it take? That's even scarier than the book itself.

That ending hurt my heart man 😔💔 5 stars for me. The social commentary is done exquisitely well. Highly recommend if you can handle the sharp gore. Nothing was held back and I cherish it for that.

This was darkety darkety D A R K dark

This is a dystopian novel in which cannibalism is legalized due to a virus making animal meat poisonous to humans. The scary thing is I could see something like this possibly happening. This is a dark story and I‘ll admit the characters aren‘t really likable….but the story was unique enough with effective world-building to the point it kept my attention with a twist or two I wasn‘t expecting at the end!

At one point during my reading, I put the text down, turned to my spouse, and said "This is a profoundly f*cked up book." That's about all that needs to be said.

🤣😂🤣💀💀💀
I died when I heard this.

26/2025 Cannibalism. It brings up horrible images, Hannibal Lector and his fava beans, but humans and animals have a long history of cannibalism, for survival, for medicinal reasons, for rituals, for conquest, and sadly for pleasure in some. Fortunately, the author sticks to the scientific reasons, and isn't lured into the sensational aspect with serial killers like Jeffery Dahmer and Ed Gein.

In my opinion, this book was overhyped. I felt like instead of creating a great story for this dystopian world, the author focused mostly on how to make the next chapter more disturbing/disgusting than the last. Although I didn‘t completely hate it, I didn‘t love it either 🤷🏾‍♂️⭐️⭐️⭐️
