There may have been things lost in translation here. While I often forget that Tender is the Flesh was translated, I found that quirks of wording pulled me out of this. I think it was the right length although flowing between perspectives made it harder to follow st times.

I enjoyed the writing style and some of the monologues (even though the thought processes didn’t make sense for six year olds), but that’s about where my enjoyment ends. I read the reviews on this and knew what I was getting into, but this really is the most dismal book imaginable.

I liked how gross this was sometimes but the levels of gore vary significantly throughout this i think and not that I read a lot of stuff like this idk it just didn’t feel quite right to me. maybe it felt to plopped down into to me idk. or maybe it was the translation may not have actually fit the story i would not have any idea i can’t even pinpoint what exactly made me not rly like this one. maybe the lack of character stories i cared about idk
