slow-paced

I honestly did not like the majority of this book and I'm not sure why I finished it. I have a very high tolerance for "gross" but portions of this were legitimately unbearable. I skipped the second half of multiple chapters (WARNING CH 4 IS TRULY AWFUL). I'm generally an easy audience for nonfiction science but this felt overly sensationalized and intentionally disturbing.
Content warnings for bestiality, animal abuse (graphic descriptions), human abuse, genital mutilation, and all kinds of other stuff you probably weren't expecting to find in this book. And none of these things appear to be written about with any sense of disgust or with any empathy for the victims (and in fact feel like the butt end of jokes at times) . Do not recommend
