This is definiyely a splattergore book, and one of the more extreme ones. If you enjoy books like Woom or Playground, this will be right up your alley. 
I, personally, felt kind of icky reading this, only because there was so much scat involved, and there's no real character development of our MC (not the point, I know) but I came away from this book happy that it was over, with no intention of picking up splattergore again. There's also a very graphic description of the love interest cutting an unborn fetus from her body, and it was the only emotionally resonant moment in the whole book.
