It did a great job of pushing the boundaries of what we feel is 'ok' or 'wrong'.
The contrast between the way the slaughterhouse made me feel and the puppies, really drove home some key themes in the book. Who is considered animal/food/pet? How do we draw those distinctions? Can they ever be fluid?
Marco's absolute mental gymnastics and hypocrisy in his attitude towards Jasmine and that towards his sister.
I loved (hated) the ending, it was very well done.

There were moments when my heart broke for the 'head' as they were called and the way he has written this story sends a shiver down your spine for the fact alone at how realistic it is. He wrote it in such a way that this could really be what would happen in a situation and future like that. It shows how cruel, evil and sadistic human beings really are and what monsters they are capable of adapting and turning into.
This is a novel I will never forget and it will definitely stay with me for a long time.
If you love a good horror, with a Dystopian theme and have a good stomach for disturbing things then look no further, this book is for you!
