The trigger warnings are true. Graphic means graphic. I could barely muster up the heart to continue reading any of the animal scenes. It was gut-wrenching. The villains of the story were well developed, I loved the twists and turns, and the fact I teetered between characters when trying to see who (if any) would survive. Loved the different types of media- from third person narrative, to interviews, to lab experiments, to indictments, to even an advertisement (corny photos and all). Really cool stuff.
