Overall, I ended up really liking this book, even though at many points I hated it. This might make 0 sense except for people that already read it, lol.

Major triggers in this, and vulgar language in general. It’s a slow burn, and can drive you to the edge. Reading this is an experience that definitely is not for everyone (not even sure if it was for me, heh).

In “A Certain Hunger,” I ventured into a world I wouldn’t have usually, and it was challenging, interesting, a tad traumatizing, and sometimes humorous.

This book will forever live in my brain (even when I wish it didn’t, lol). What a ride - if you decide to dive in, and stick with it until the very end - it’s worth it in my opinion.

"To eat people is to get the taste of a Titan. It’s infinite immortalization. It makes a god out of a woman."

Women's rights but more importantly women's wrongs.

I could not get over the pretentious writing. I understand that the author was trying to show the egocentrism of this character, but it was obnoxious to read. Also, I don’t eat meat, and so the constant describing of food had me feeling grossed out and bored (not the cannibalism, the actual food). Finally, I was really uncomfortable with the way that she talked about the ONLY POC in this book. She describes her dreadlocks as Medusa snakes, and basically has nothing nice to say, and then literally in the next chapter she is praising how beautiful her blond lawyer is. Maybe it was an intentional choice, but then she starts talking about her white privilege in prison as if she’s woke, so I’m not sure that it was. Regardless, I didn’t like it.

The writing is overly pretentious, although I realize the character is pretentious. It gets a bit tiring at times, but really keeps you connected to the main character.

However, the more I read the more it kept me interested.

The descriptions of certain events are very graphic and disturbing. But that did make it a good October/Halloween read.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this, but I also wouldn’t discourage someone from reading it (unless you really can’t read graphic content).

The best way I've found to describe the bulk of the book is that it reads like NBC Hannibal feels to watch. It's downright decadent in it's description and focuses just as much on food as it does on murder. The main character manages to be likeable despite what she describes to the reader and the author really made her feel like a food columnist
