it was ok
bookshelves: ya

for a book about intimacy and cannibalism i really expected there to be more meaning and metaphor and, i don’t know, substance. like, at all. the author said this book is actually about veganism, which is so fucking stupid i don’t even know where to start. no it isn’t. it isn’t a book about ANYTHING, it’s an extended road trip with a little gore thrown in. the characters had absolutely nothing going on, learned nothing, and had no internal motivation. even though the writing was okay, it was such a fucking slog with SO many loose ends that never get resolved. the ending was unsatisfying and undermines the entire veganism point the author was supposedly making, so like, what the fuck, why did i read all that then. stupid.

i’ll still watch the movie though. it looks better 🤡
