Really enjoyed this. Def an adult book, not one that crosses over with other age groups. The descriptions of food stand out as very well written. Lots of violence and very graphic in a few places, but doesn't feel out of place or overwhelming (with one possible exception, but I think it's personal taste).  The interludes are a little distracting, but Lynch handles them well and most of the time I ended up appreciating them for what they added to the main plot.
