Prey

I've often credited this book for being the work that made me realize that I do like body horror a lot as long as it's in the context of the body doing/becoming the horror not the horror being visited upon the body via torture. So, I figured maybe I should reread it and see if it stood the test of time since I was very easily impressed back when I first read it.

The body horror held up as did the general plot, but the banter and how insufferable the characters were not so much. I understand Perry is supposed to be a hard to love but somehow sympathetic figure but with most of the other characters being in the same vein and with the inappropriate edginess that passed for witticism at the time (yes the late 2000s were an era of unrelenting cringiness) it just got tedious at some point.
