For the most part, this book is pretty damn fun. You start to enjoy the endless waffle about food and publishing. The gory descriptions are fairly well executed as well. I’m not particularly attached to Dorothy as a character, she’s a cannibalistic murderer but apart from that, a refined palate, and a further appetite for sex (there’s quite a lot of both in this), she doesn’t have a whole lot going on. Internally, at least. Sometimes she lapses into feminist musings or thoughts about her life, but mostly I was interested in what Dorothy did, rather than who she was. 
Ending felt a little strange, various loose threads and new points brought up abruptly (

who were those two men mentioned exactly once that she fucking murdered? Why was that never elaborated on??

), still good overall though.

Very much want to have a nice meal and watch Hannibal again.
