kdarnie 's review for:

Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
4.75
challenging dark reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Deeply disturbing and also brilliant. Graphic (not my cup of tea at all) but in a way that illustrated how fucked up the story's world is. It made me feel something (disgust, concern, sympathy, hatred that people do this to animals irl) and that's great. I love a book where I have to sit and reflect after I finish.
