I think it’s such a cool concept just poorly executed, which totally sucks because I really wanted to like this book.
I had to double check if the Author was actually a woman with how misogynistic the writing was. Just misogynistic torture porn.
A book created for shock value written to disgust the reader.
The amount of SA was gross and I think at times unnecessary. Characters were coming and going never to be seen again. No actual in depth discussion on the morals noted in the book, everything is pretty much skimmed over quickly. Just the whole book had no depth! I needed more nitty gritty on the characters rather than all the details in the behind the scenes.
Hated Marcos so much he had no appeal at all for me to carry on reading, his personality just made me hate him so much. And overall boring.

Not for the faint of heart…what creeped me out more than anything is that the story wasn’t so unbelievable. The author doesn’t really hold back which made for an incredibly intense read…like something you’re disturbed by but for some reason you can’t look away.

Very hard read in a fantastic way because of the details put into the description of how life could be different if we used people as cattle
