This writing is incredibly evocative. It is a hard book to read because of the subject matter, but the characters are just so vivid and heart wrenching that I loved it even when I didn't like it. Warning, it is very disturbing if you are an animal lover, but it should be disturbing if you are a person lover too, and maybe that is the point. I was very attached to these characters and invested in their outcomes despite loathing what some of them were doing. The book made me consider things from a different perspective.
