Gruesome, horriffic, disturbing story with a promising conspiracy. It actually made me feel nasuas!
Because of a virus affecting animals, people turned to cannibalism. This in itself I find rather unrealistic but it made for a good comparison to how we treat and eat animals, and to show social injustice. It makes you reflect upon that.
This book started off really strong but later on it did not receive the depth that I had hoped for. We didn't learn much about the conspiracy which was the part I was personally interested in since it would have provided more depth to the story. Now, it is quite superficial trauma p*rn and words for shock value. The conspiracy was a missed opportunity.
I really enjoyed the audiobook because I liked the accent and the pronunciations of the narrator.I liked how the book ended. It showed moral hipocricy at its finest.
