That said, I can't go without mentioning this book's problems. I'll start with a more neutral one:
Would I read it again? Absolutely not. But boy howdy, did I enjoy every minute. All I have to say about this ridiculous and perfect book is: Get it, Tally Youngblood. Eat your pretty little face and your big ugly heart out.

Moderate: Body horror, Classism, Colonisation, Injury/Injury detail, and Gore

Characters use the term "r*tarded" occasionally. It may be reflective of now-outdated attitudes toward the word from when the book was written (2005), but it was still jarring to hear while listening to the audiobook.goldsbuc's review against another edition
