When all the animals are dead and cannibalism takes over slaughterhouses. With a story of love in the middle leaving you feeling like WTF did I just read. Yeah it was a good book.

If there’s any book that would make me go vegan, it’s this one. 

It’s hard to explain, but this is one of the “filthiest” books I’ve read. It feels like it just stinks, and everything is covered in gore. 

I absolutely loved the world building, and the plot itself was about as dark as it can get. I believe I understand the authors intentions in not telling us too much, but I feel like they could have gone further in depth surrounding the general events that led to the world as it is when the story takes place.

I thought this was a very interesting take on dystopian America. I would not recommend to anyone who is sensitive to gore or horror. I was not surprised by the ending, but I think that the author’s slow and gradual character degradation was done very well. The main character slowly descends into madness, and you can truly see it.
