Review: deliciously twisted

Faricy has taken an entirely believable set of occurrences; the selling of "substitute"meat for beef, dog fur for coats, and making sausage out of enemies, and twisted them into a dark humor...or is that sick humor?..novel.  Yep, I enjoyed the book; just wasn't real sure I should admit it.  I did enjoy the irony of Luther's demise.  Technicalities?  Well, I do doubt that a chow could yield the size steaks described.  In fact, while I've been in a couple countries that regularly eat dog, I've never seen the meat served as you would a steak.  What I am familiar with is dog served much like a chopped barbeque (often roasted on a spit) or in small cubes breaded and served with sauce on the side.  And it is generally understood that mixed breed dogs, for some reason, produce a better tasting and more tender meat than purebreds.  However, if you are using the coat for a coat, so to speak, I guess you take what you can get.  And I suppose I've seen too many mafia movies to question the sausage idea.  (No personal experience there, fortunately!)  Again, Faricy has taken well-worked ideas and presented them in an interesting setting.There was really only one reason I didn't rate this as a 5 star; the editing!  If the editor were to learn the difference between loose and lose others might not be distracted as I was.
