I love a good cannibal read with a Chuck Palahniuk twist. Loved every screwed up second of it

I can see why some people would enjoy the book but I wouldn’t recommend for someone who loves horror and has read a lot the “scary” moments of the book are very fade to black. I also thought it was very predictable and the huge twist was made very obvious. It wasn’t my favorite, but it’s a quick read.
