I feel like the ending invalidates any point the author was trying to make and relegates it all to grimdark “we live in a society” bullshit. 

The first half was a convincing enough metaphor for capitalism. The midpoint twist was confusing and meandering. And the ending was a flaccid mess. 

I feel like at some point this book just was gross for the sake of being gross.
