This book is constantly very graphic and is very detailed about everything. The main character, Marcos, works in a processing plant for human meat and oversees every aspect of the industry, so when I say it goes into detail I mean it! 
Overall a great book and amazing commentary on capitalism, greed, media, and the normalization/desensitization of the horrible truths of the world.
