We Eat Our Own

I enjoyed this. It had potential that it didn't quite live up to.

Essentially inspired by Cannibal Holocaust and the events surrounding the existence of this movie, it follows the journey of a young American actor who gets hired to be in a giallo film by an Italian director in Colombia at a very dangerous time in that nation's history. Alternating chapters are told from the p.o.v. of different characters. No character really gets a second chance. The only character we hear from multiple times IS the American. So, as one can imagine, the story gets a little uneven when a dozen different characters take turns being the focus.

But it was enjoyable. It was a bit stressful. It reminded me of the horrible things in Cannibal Holocaust.

But I wanted more. For a horror fan, this book will not truly deliver on all the cannibal gore and exploitation one could want. But for a piece of lit-fic, it's surprisingly enjoyable, and I would read the next thing Ms Wilson writes.
