This feels like an attempt at a vegan propaganda. it’s raw and rough around the edges and the writing feels inconsistent at times. It can be thought provoking but mostly felt predictable and boring near the end as we watch him spiral into madness. I wish there could’ve been more of an insight on his internal demons and how he constantly deals with them internally rather than seeing him act it out on the people around him.
