Tender is the Flesh

THE RUNAWAY NATIONAL BESTSELLER AND INTERNATIONAL SENSATION

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore.

His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.

Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Had promise but fell flat

Was a very interesting and disturbing premise to begin with, but ultimately turned into repetitive bouts of torture porn with no real character development or story with depth.

WTF

This was interesting, creepy, and a real WTF type of book. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Not bad

Overall not bad could have given a little more but I was interested the whole time.

different

this was recommended to me from my cousin. I wanted a quick read while on vacation. I'll admit it started off a bit slow, but afterwards, you become so involved in what is going on.

wasn't sure about the narrater at first..

at first I wasn't sure I could get used to the narrators accents.. but OMG I LOVEE HIM! his voice really brought the story together and there couldn't have been a better narrator. amazing story line as week, and quiet creepy just my kind of book!
