Animals Eat Each Other didn't work for me. I loved how raw it was. How flawed yet self aware everyone was in it. I loved that I could feel the reality of it, and it made me feel connected to communities in Missouri I'd forgotten how closely I'd known.

This novel is a good psychological exploration of how a lot of people process their relationships and themselves through the lens of attention, desire, and power, and what a narrow, claustrophobic, and overall sad life that produces.
