Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

 Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

Rating: 1.5/5

I was deceived by the unique cover of this novel because I thought it would be a great book. One of the main aspects in this novel is cannibalism, which I don't have a problem reading about, yet I found the way the author portrayed it to be gruesome and unnecessary. There are many unneeded aspects of this book that I found unappealing, including the illogical storyline, and inhuman "protagonist", who commits disgusting acts despite his hatred for cannibalism to begin with. The way cannibalism is portrayed in the book is highly unrealistic, and I couldn't for a second picture a world like it, or characters like such, which is why I considered it a bad novel.
