Going into this book, I definitely expected blood and gore due to the title of the book, however there were somethings that definitely shocked me. The book was definitely more graphic and darker then I expected. Regardless, I actually really enjoyed this book and definitely can’t wait to read book two.
While I did really enjoy this book, I did find myself confused in the beginning. Each chapter was about a new set of characters, with no connection to the previous ones. After a few chapters however, the old characters made appearances and the story made a lot more sense.

I hate this book. But also I couldn't DNF it because I was so angry and wanted SOMETHING to go right... right? Wrong.
This cannibal is invincible?! He was shot twice, had an ax in him, and who knows what else yet he STILL survived?! Basically, everyone died. The people who had the opportunity to shoot him all missed. The gore was DISGUSTING. The cannibal could see ghosts and he has super-sonic hearing. And you're going to tell me this BIG DUDE who apparently has the mental capacity of a second grader can fit through windows in a cabin and has enough awareness to have an alternate personality that is smart and knows to set the camp on fire so he can leave. We got a glimpse of him living a normal life and going to work for what? For no reason. It was irrelevant to the book. OH AND THEN HE GOT AWAY. Two people survive him and he still gets away.
Dumb. I hate this book
