Basically splatterpunk. Didn’t enjoy it at all, and not even for gore / similar reasons. Cows speaking and the slaughterhouse environment were so ridiculous. I would have DNF, except I don’t ever do that.

carinakastano's review against another edition

this reads like a reddit mod's "edgy" bovine fanfic-- the writing is such poor quality and it's animal/fecal gore just for the sake of being gross and shocking

some things shouldn't be written

pumpkinpiechey's review against another edition

This book is written like the author grabbed at every edgy and gross concept they could to try to make the reader uncomfortable, but failed and instead was extremely predictable.
