There is so much to this book. It touches on so many graphic topics, I would highly suggest finding a list of trigger warnings before trying this book out.
I'm not sure what to say, I picked this up on a whim thinking I would enjoy biologists in Scotland but it was so much darker than that. Obviously I needed to know what was next but it was so graphic and sometimes felt unnecessary. Though I can see the power in looking and feeling uncomfortable.
I just didn't like it, especially in regards to the treatment of the animals in the book. If you don't like animal deaths, I really would not pick this one up.
It's for someone but it's not for me.
