The Slob

If there was a way for me to give this negative stars I would.

Absolutely gut wrenching. It’s a very cliche type of horror with an old abandoned house deep in the woods resided by a cannibal. Had a lot of “Hansel and Gretel”and “wrong turn” vibes. A very sweet pregnant woman who just wanted to earn some money to prepare for motherhood has everything torn away from her after surviving a hellish childhood involving her sister killing herself. How ever this woman is no girly girl… she doesn’t take shit. She was smart, cautious, determined and very relatable. I personally loved this book by this author, but I strongly caution recommending it to people. There are scenes of extreme violence, and gross outs. If blood and guts (people eating it too) is not your thing than you might want to skip this one. But if you can handle it, and want something to keep you turning the pages go for it.

Meh, the ending was not what I was expecting… it was just confusing.

One of the most disturbing books I’ve read … giving it this rating because I was invested on what would happen in the end.

Not for me. Hard to rate because I hated it but it’s not poorly written and for people who are looking for gore, you’ll be more than satisfied. There’s also decent and fast moving plot except for everything after the main arc. The rest seemed a bit thrown in as if to answer an unspoken question of “is that it?” Ummm… not at all, here’s some more stuff to add depth and a cliffhanger to boot…. Honestly, I was just trying out a short one to see if I enjoyed the genre. Turns out… not even a little bit
