This book was truly a wild ride. I can see the author taking me on a wild ride and I can also see his not so subtle commentary on humanity.

readwithbells's review against another edition

This book was sadly just too much for me. The constant low-level to high-level misogyny, the xenophobic and ableist language, and then the animal cruelty were just not what I was expecting and while I actually do really want to know how it ends, it’s just not a book for me and that’s ok. Weird way to start the year though 😂

This was a huge waste of time and I’m mad at myself for powering through this drivel. Absolutely no plot. Strong misogyny.

The concept for this book was fantastic but the ultimate execution was very much lacking, especially in the back half of the book. 
Additionally

Way too much nipple torture and very poorly written female characters

Made for an uncomfortable read at times and not in the good way
