I loved this so much. Would recommend. It’s pretty much a social commentary on the rich. It’s clear from the title anyway “How to Eat the Rich”. There were some questions I had that are left unanswered which is why I did not give this a full rating. But still, it’s good. I loved the salesman so much, even more towards the end of this book. It’s a quick short read. I read it in one sitting. Read it.

I thought this worked really well as a short story, which can be read online on Tor.com. I almost wish it had become a novella, or at least slightly longer so the story had more to it. I liked our narrator as well, who was speaking to you as though you were the man that he approaches at the beginning. 

I did only give it three stars because the plot twist was quite predictable, but it was an enjoyable short story all the same.

This was a whimsical take on cannibalism, but the title honestly spoils the whole premise. I checked it out of my library's digital collection, but it's free to read on Tor's website.

Very amusing post-apocalyptic bit of horror. Maybe those recipes will come in handy!
