challenging dark medium-paced

4.75

A grotesque critique of capitalism. 

You either love it or you hate it. It’s vile and unwavering. One of the few books that made my stomach turn.

this book gave me visceral reactions like i was so uncomfortable the entire time. not to mention the gory and disturbing images described throughout the entirety of the book. it was a challenging book, and as a young adult, this definitely cleared up the types of books that i’m interested in (and i can guarantee i will never read something like this ever again). this book has definitely earned its reputation, i would take your mental state into consideration and i would recommend knowing what your limits are before opening this one. also, the book just like… wasn’t good? lmfao
