4.5

This book is really gross and awful and I'm not sure it's even good and it might be my favorite book I've read in the last few years. The definition of a guilty pleasure, I read cows in a single night after finding a pdf on some internet form site. It's basically a coming of age story on PCP with a healthy dose of animal cruelty and possible psychosis. Don't read this probably. Again, I'm not sure it's actually any good I'm just a sicko.

Graphic: Medical content, Violence, Self harm, Murder, Animal cruelty, and Sexual violence

Gross book, again not for someone put off by ridiculously graphic stuff. Also features one of those captive bolt cow stunnerr things, so that's always good.
