Probably very impressive for its time, but nothing special now. The story meanders and sometimes manages to be boring (which is almost an achievement for a book so short). Over all, I thought it was okay although the blatant sexism did take me out of the story many times over.
Graphic: Death, Sexism, Genocide, Body horror, Blood, War, Violence, Murder, Mental illness, and Gore
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Animal death
Minor: Confinement, Cannibalism, Child death, and Misogyny
