tyler_j's review against another edition
4.0
I was surprised to see the amount of the depth in this novel. Tackling sexism and grief especially. I loved the characters. I also loved the sense of horror through-out and the creepy atmosphere.
My one real complaint is it felt heavy-handed with the eating meat is bad. Not everyone can actually be a vegetarian even if they wanted to. Medical issues sometimes get in the way. I'm not entirely sure that was ment to come through or not, but it sure felt like it to me.
But over-all I did really like this! I see why people like Ruby jean Jensen's books and why, with them being out of print, it can be hard to find affordable copies of them.
