This was a really fun read, however the main character is (due to her nature) someone I find intensely unlikeable. The description is fun and wild, and full of gore and torrid sex. I personally dont enjoy constant discussion of genitals outside of smut, and this book had a lot of reflections on genitalia (but this lines up well with the main character). 
I'm a vegetarian, and this book at least intrigued me with all the meat and recipe talk. Definitely made me hungry.

Definitely more smutty than I had anticipated, but the prose is beautiful. It started slow (& pretentious) and grew on me as I kept reading. Definitely an interesting read!

kindredspirit7's review against another edition

The narrator was so frustrating and annoying. The further I got into the book the more frustrated I got. The author did a fantastic job depicting the mind of a serial killer, but it just wasn’t for me. It was too long and detailed and at times a bit too gory.

"To eat people is to get the taste of a Titan. It’s infinite immortalization. It makes a god out of a woman."

Women's rights but more importantly women's wrongs.
