surprisingly readable and well-written reflections by the main character, otherwise uncertain of how I feel about shock value. but i did enjoy ‘cows’ up to the halfway mark quite a bit. it kind of fell apart afterwards, but on the other hand: where even is there to go with a premise like this?
edit: upon thinking about it some time after finishing the book - it does give somewhat powerful food for thought regarding the meat industry
