Tender Is the Flesh was a very interesting read because of the world building. The author introduces the reader to a world where animals have been eradicated due to a disease and humans have been genetically modified and are consumed as "special meat". The writing is direct from the very beginning right up until the end. It's extremely descriptive about what is done in the farms and how desensitized the workers are to killing and butchering people. It really plays into the darkest part of humanity which when given the freedom is monstrous and knows no bounds. The ending was especially hard to read because the reader realizes that the main character is an unreliable narrator and that even though at the beginning he seems to loathe his job he is just as complacent and cruel as everyone else if not more.
