Tender is the Flesh is a gripping discussion of what our world could be like if cannabilism was the norm. An interesting read with a lot of potential for reflection on humanity and our morals in general.

While this was still a good read for me, I don't think it lived up to the hyped expectations I had with what I was seeing on social media about this book. When you stop to consider the power differences between people, some actions start to seem a lot worse than others, especially when the topic of

consent

comes into play. 

Despite the build up and the shock of the ending, I don't think the build up and the finale lived upto scratch as some other sections of the book. personally I found

the hunting grounds and especially the want for pregant female "cattle"

to be more concerning than the base cannabilism. 

I would recommend this book to someone looking for a horror book that really makes you think, especially as this isn't completly outside the realm of possibility for our world.
