The Slob

I liked how this was written and the pacing, it was so easy to read I just zoomed through it. The gruesome moments and the incredible detail though was not so easy to read, it was enough to make me squirm and feel sick. Although I did find it to be an interesting premise for a story, the way it was executed may've been a little too much for me.

What. The. Hell. Was That. And I mean that in the best way possible. This is a crazy horror/disgusting book that literally has no light to it...I mean good GRIEF was this book dark and tormented. I wonder what's going on in Beauregard's head, though honestly, when I say that, it's a compliment. I literally almost threw up at more than one part. Wow. Just wow.

there were quite a few things i liked about this book (the character background and development, the overall “moral” of the story around greed, the mental health content, the small insertions of quirky humor amongst the gore, and of course the extreme gore and disgust.... this is splatterpunk, people) but there were also quite a few things i didn't enjoy (the writing had an overwritten quality to it that disturbed the fluency of the novella... every SAT word ever is not required lol, the ending (in my opinion) took a great meaningful story and undermined it by going full throttle into ridiculous humor and offensive stereotyping, and the very last sentence so obviously set us up for a sequel that we didn't need). overall, i feel like the good outweighs the bad here and if you're a fan of splatterpunk, you will definitely be entertained!
