#read read read #read📚 #book #booktok #books

Ik Ik ik we're in November and I'm still hung to my October spooky books! 👻 But hear me out, this one is just a super crazy book. It's disgusting yet something that'll make you believe what extents humans could go to. Wouldn't recommend reading while eating 🥣 🤫 especially meat 🍖

2024/11/8 Edited to

The story grips you with its unsettling narrative and shocking moments, challenging perceptions of morality and humanity. As the author noted, the book is designed to evoke strong emotions, making it a memorable read this October. Readers should prepare for a wild ride, as it combines elements of thrill and grotesque scenarios. Recommended for anyone who enjoys dark fiction, it provides a profound commentary on societal behaviors. Spoiler Alert: It's not for the faint-hearted! The mix of horror and thought-provoking content will stay with you long after finishing. Whether you're a fan of horror novels or new to the genre, 'The Flesh' is a provocative addition to your fall reading list that can't be missed. Be sure to have some comfort food nearby, as the shocking events might challenge your appetite.

I really enjoyed how she set up the reader to think the MC was as disgusted by the state of the world as the reader is, until the end and turns out he’s just a grieving disenchanted office worker who’s just as bad as all the people he’s judging. Points of it were predictable but I think it added to it

Book Review: What did I just read? 😶‍🌫️

My review doesn’t have much to do with the author. This was not my style at all. The story was hard to follow. There were stories within stories connected to other stories in the story. See how that’s confusing? My expectations of the book were much different than what the book was actually about.
