Wow, this one was absolutely amazing.
I dropped (not DNF'd; I'll pick it back up eventually) Cows for this one. And boy oh boy, am I glad that I did.

I grew to love

the last character, Max.

The ending was somewhat confusing, though?

Did Max end up actually infected? If so, how? Did the worms stay dormant and hidden inside of him somehow?

Anyway, it was a fabulous read! Sort of a slow start once it focuses on the boys, but it was very worth it.

The trigger warnings are true. Graphic means graphic. I could barely muster up the heart to continue reading any of the animal scenes. It was gut-wrenching. The villains of the story were well developed, I loved the twists and turns, and the fact I teetered between characters when trying to see who (if any) would survive. Loved the different types of media- from third person narrative, to interviews, to lab experiments, to indictments, to even an advertisement (corny photos and all). Really cool stuff.
