I did not write a review for this book :0?

Anyways from what I remember I really did not enjoy it, it felt like it combined veganism with a lot of themes that weren't related. It felt more like a book of anorexia and self-destruction. The fact that it's titled vegetarian and all is a bit disappointing to me. The different P.O.V.s in each section of the book are of varying quality. The first one was the most fun and promising, and had cool descriptions. The second steps into vulgarity, immorality. The third one is a bit mundane and not a high note to finish this work on.

There is a lot of artistry and imagination in this book, but to me it is used in unfortunate ways on a subject that might alienate a lot of people in the first place. Like having a belief that you hold used as a device for horror is one thing, but the belief not even feeling relevant is another.
