Tender Is the Flesh

Whew! What a story. I am so glad that is over. I wouldn't say I liked this book, nor did I enjoy reading it, but I endured it to the end because I wanted to see what would happen with Marcos and the pregnant female. This book was challenging for me to read because it had a lot of drawn-out narration and not much dialogue. It is told from a third-person perspective. The reader experiences this dystopian society through the eyes of the main male character. He is dealing with a loss and is questioning what society has become after The Transition. I was with Marcos until he started raping the female head he received as a gift. Then, when she fell pregnant, I really thought the author was doing too much. The protagonist turns out to be the anti-hero, and the author leaves the readers hanging.
