This book sets out to be depraved and disgusting and it definitely does that. Not really any development, and was bad enough I had to step away from the book to gag multiple times. Not for the faint of heart!

Oh boy.

How does one even rate something like this? I can't rate it in a scale of how much I enjoyed it because, well. I can't say I had a good time. I had A time, for sure. I had to put down my kindle from time to time because I was gaging, do with that what you will. 

This book is disgusting, vile, ugly and shocking. That's what it set out to do, and it was sucessful in its endeavour to disturb, and that's the basis of my rating. Consider me disturbed. 

At its core, Steven is a deeply disfunctional individual in the middle of a deeply disfunctional environment. The world of Cows is one of extremes. Nothing is left in mild terms. 

And it'll haunt me for a very long time.

Whoever recommended this one in the Reddit post about disturbing books, you were right and also fuck you.

The book is depraved and monstrous. Not for the faint of heart. It will make you gag and want to throw up.
