Review: Cows

Cows by Matthew Stokoe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the most disgusting, horrible, sickening, filthy, puke-inducing book I have EVER read, well done Matthew Stokoe

I crave books that will have a hard impact on me, either positive or negative, it doesn't matter, I want to FEEL. This was just something else...really, truly, something else.
If you pick this book up expect murder, mutilation, animal abuse, rape, bestiality and absolutely disgusting and descriptive imagery. You won't want to read this whilst eating your lunch.

Our main character, Steven, is a shut in who lives with his mother whom he calls the 'Hagbeast', she is incapable of love and affection and makes Steven's life a living Hell. All he wants is just to be happy, just like people that he sees on the TV. He will do anything to just feel something...like exploring the sickness and depravity of the local slaughterhouse.

I'm still not completely sure what the book's message was but if I wasn't Vegan before reading this I definitely would be now.
