absolutely wild book which i enjoyed thoroughly. marcos is completely and utterly revolting. i did not see the end coming. i wouldn’t say that this is a “meat is murder” book, but rather a commentary on humanity and the extent to which dehumanization is possible and the extent to which atrocities become normalized. it definitely is gory and disgusting, but i would definitely recommend.
