Okay this was royally f*cked but is it bad to say I loved it. It was written so well, the imagery was (grossly) descriptive, the way this absolute grotty man thought he was king of the world, the crazy woman, the gross mother. All of it was so gross but so good.

This book is vile. Every page is revolting, stomach churning nightmare after nightmare. Bleak. Disgusting. Violent. It actually made me wonder how someone thinks of things so vividly repulsive. It’s not good. Nothing about it is good, but there is a message in all the filth and I think it stands as a very effective messenger, sickening as it is.

It’s too gross for me. I’m very visual and I keep gagging. I thought I could handle everything but I was wrong. We draw the line at eating shit.

I'm gonna have to think on this one. I don't really know how I feel about it right now. Suffice it to say my feelings are....complicated....

“Yeah, I’m a cow, man. Touch me.”
this… is a book! no, seriously, i knew this was going to be gruesome and disgusting going in, and it didn’t disappoint. it wasn’t “too much” for me, but then again i have a strong stomach when it comes to reading. also - i will say, if i wasn’t already not eating cow before reading this, this would have solidified that decision.
i don’t know what this book is trying to do, and that’s one of the reasons it’s not a five star for me. there’s the obvious theme that we all live superficial lives and forget about the lives that aren’t glamorous that provides us these clean lives, but besides that im not sure. why cows, matthew?
as far as what i interpret is happening in this book, right now im unsure. i’ll read more reviews and such after i write my own that will probably shape my ideas more. right now though, i choose to believe this is a schizophrenic episode of a man who works at a slaughter factory and is mentally unhinged.
do i recommend you read this book? well, that’s up to you. however… i think it’s worth it for some of the banger comedic lines.
“You like cow pussy?”
“Sure.”
“Tight enough?”
“Surprisingly.”

This was awful. It did amuse me at points, so I give it some extra point for that. But the disgusting and shocking stuff wasn't even done in any clever way. Just page after page of grossness for the sake of it. I suppose you could say it achieves its goal of shocking the reader, but that's about all it has going for it.
