Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about tender is the flesh by Augustine Bastarica. I think I got that right if not. I'm sure you guys will let me know This book is came highly highly recommended by my friend Tracy Tracy Robinson Everything she suggests I absolutely adore. I don't know what it is about Now we we tend to disagree on things we dislike sometimes, but everything that she has enjoyed I have enjoyed the This book is no different. It's absolutely fantastic. I Want I don't know why I want to say this I want to put this up from this is kind of like soil and green But you know right up front that soil and green is people It is a book about legalized can it canables It has loads and loads of Gore and violence and very disturbing stuff But before we get into the body of the review. I'm going to give you trigger warning for rape and animal abuse Let's get on with the review. Okay, so we in this book we follow Markos who works at the local processing plant and His father has dementia his wife left him he's in a bad way But on top of that the world has gone absolutely crazy Not like roving bands of maniacs or anything, but They have legalized cannibalism because a disease has made animals Inedible so they have gone to human beings that are now being A Farmed I guess it is these human beings are not treated like human beings are treated like cattle The the women especially are treated absolutely horribly there There's a there's a darkness here that I enjoy and that I appreciate so that I don't want to give away too much there's so much great stuff in this book and it's harder for me to review the books That I love I absolutely love I'm given this one five stars if you couldn't tell already um It's harder for me to talk about these books because I I tend to focus more on criticisms here. I have absolutely no criticisms whatsoever the book is fantastic from beginning to end It has the best final line I have read since pet cemetery It my jaw hit the floor now pet cemetery isn't really a twist ending It's just a wonderful, wonderful final line in this one It just it hits it hits like a brick um the the very last line of the book is just way what It completely changes the tone of the book in fact. I'd love to reread it to see It you think that you think something specific about the main character like we're following this this dude And he's going to do these things or do certain things and it's the complete opposite I really really enjoyed that As far as the dread pacing and characters that I look for in every horror novel the dread is great I had no idea what was going on. I was on the edge of my seat all the time The the characters were fantastic especially the the the father Marcos himself everybody that you met you could you could care about or you could at least understand them Um and I like that I like even the supporting characters it'd be just as important as the main characters. I know I'm weird in that way But that's that's how I feel the the supporting characters should feel just as real as the main character The paid pacing I mean I didn't want to put it down. It's fantastic Also, this is this book is on scribe If you're a subscriber if you're not a subscriber grab a free trial down there in the doobly-doo I get a free month you get a free month Everybody's happy in fact. I think you might get two free months. I don't know Whatever anyways, but the links down there The audiobook which I tried out also is it's fantastic. I enjoyed that as well. It's a very very short read It blows by very quickly like I said the the pacing the pacing is great And that's all I really have to say about tender is the flesh Um, once again, man. It's hard to review positively for me because I focus more on on criticisms with this channel But have you read tenders the flesh by Augustine Bestetterica if you have let me know down there in the doobly-doo Let me know whether you loved it whether you hated it If you loved it or hated it, let me know why you loved it or hated it so that we can have a discussion But until next time I have any you have been you.
