The goat makes me depressed once again

The most sexist garbage I ever had the displeasure of reading. I actually got depressed from the first 10 pages alone. Not only can you feel the white savior complex oozing from every paragraph and the author's disdain for his wife especially, you're also actively wishing for the characters to die already. In combination with the underwhelming writing style and absence of any exciting plot, I'm seriously asking how this ever managed to get published, yet alone win an award

C.M.’s style of writing is like reading one big Haiku. It was tough for me at first. I chose to listen to the audio book as I read along with my copy and it made my experience way more enjoyable.

Harrowing, post-apocalyptic, page-turner.
Couldn't put it down.
