Different

This is definitely different to anything I've ever read before.
If you are at all squeemish it probably isn't for you.
The only thing I disliked was initially I did struggle knowing which character the narrator was talking about due to the rapid third person.

A good quick entertaing read.

It wasn’t as disturbing as I thought it would be, (Bones and All definitely succeeded in that regard) the concept was just too outlandish perhaps? It was entertaining though, and the voice actor was great. Female voices a little bit ick but overall great. A relatively short book, resulting in a fast paced story with no messing around.

Near perfection!!!

Wow. I just wish there was more..

Not only one if the best read, well paced novels of the year but the book itself for me — is as wondrous, entertaining, enthralling & captivating as it is jarring.

An experience unlike any other, this is literary excellence in all of its glory!!!

Uncomfortable and thought provoking

A story that was so interesting and uncomfortable at the same time. The ending was not what I was expecting!

Disturbingly good.

Trigger warnings for animal abuse & rape.

Marcos works in one of the processing plants & his good at his job, but he is also dealing with the death of his son, breakdown of his marriage, his fathers ailing health & now a 'head' (woman) has been gifted to him. The story tells how humans are now farmed for meat & the legalities of the process. But the woman gifted to Marcos is now a problem.

This book is disturbing from beginning right up until the very last moment. Is told very well & made me cringe quiet a few times in all the right ways. Stuck with me after I had finished.

Morbid, Dark, and Kinda Gross

Dystopian nightmare, society at its worst. Don't trust the protagonist. All I will say.

So weird but worth every second

This book is so detailed and weird. It makes you question so much about societal norms. I would recommend it to everyone.

Great story, excellent performance

I really enjoyed this book, some descriptions were quite dirsturbing but I was mostly shocked by how realistic the laws and protocols around consuming ‘special meat’ felt. As the cover art suggest, the story really had me wondering if I lived in that world, would I behave any different?

The ending left me feeling somehow shocked yet unsurprised at the same time. A great conclusion for this story.

I think the narration was my favourite audiobook performance of the year. Perfectly suited for the story.

In all I thought this was great book topped of by an excellent by Balderrama.

Definitely interesting

Would definitely say this is a must read. It’s very interesting and fascinating. Nowhere near as graphic or traumatising as other reviews make it seem.
Ending wasn’t the best would love to see this book made into a movie or series.
