Good. Fucken. God. First of all, I can’t even begin to unpack the cover image of this book. Second, this man needs to learn how to write in active voice. PLEASE. His passivity throughout killed me. He also has a repulsive sympathy for colonizers. A lot of the different sections were word salad with zero substance; saying everything without saying anything at all. He begins the book by seeming unbiased and welcoming different ways and practices of life, then quickly throws that out the window. He also has the audacity to say that cultural cannibalism doesn’t exist anymore as if he knows every single culture on earth. Dude, grow up.

I have only two positive notes: he at least points out the age-old history of European’s hypocrisy with cannibalism with great detail, and provides a few useful references. Other than that, I am not impressed. Also, he said Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn’t a great movie and didn’t even include C.H.U.D. in the cannibal horror movie list.

Interesting and disturbing all at the same time.
