voidcrawler's review against another edition

surprisingly, i found this kind of boring… i really wanted to like it though. the author’s incredibly talented and i’d read more of his work, but this fell flat for me. i gave it to roughly the halfway mark to give me something to feel, but… oh well. i’d still recommend it to anyone who wants something a little more on the disturbing side.

reddarko's review against another edition

Shock value just for the sake of shocking readers. No substance outside of that. I don't mind gore and gross out things, but I like to have some sort of substance alongside it.

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

The Jungle by way of Rob Zombie. Hard read, not for the faint of heart.
