Wild, compulsive read. Disturbing and unsettling while still making me laugh out loud at parts. Interesting reflection on what makes us human and separate from beasts.

This book is the kind of book that had me questioning wtf I was reading the whole time. Very strange, very uncomfortable at times. I'll probably think about this book a lot.
