  • Plot- or character-driven? N/A
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.5

The level of brutality in this book does not match with a strong message.  There are a few opportunities for the author to have made a stronger statement but it never pans out.  When this book only focuses on factory farming the violence and brutality is just torture porn not "making a statement"
