Hated it. Earthlings was incredible even with the questionable choice of
heavy cannibalism
. This book was filled with stories with characters I didn’t care about and
the cannibalism just made me sick. - would not recommend especially for a vegan
The characters do connect across stories but in a very uninteresting way. Stories are incredibly weird but in an uncomfortable way. Moral don’t exist but it feels like it’s almost written for shock value which takes away from the message of conformity and what is deemed normal by society. Hard  will not recommend.
