mcmontgomery's review against another edition

4.0

There was a very explicit rape scene for which I wish I'd had some warning ahead of time. Otherwise, this was really pretty spectacular. The combination of vivid, occasionally gritty/gruesome stories with a diverse range of characters and lived experiences and the horrific accounts of corruption of the meat industry (glad I was already a vegetarian) made for a compelling, thought-provoking, stunningly authentic-feeling read.
