Summary

La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida。 Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana。 El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos。
Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata。 El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce。
¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos?

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 The concept is not bad itself, but the way it is presented is unoriginal, and the turnaround on our idea of Marcos is well made, but I feel as if this book is very poorly written。 The plot only revolves around the description of the places the protagonist visits。 There is barely any emotion to be felt。

This was probably the most disturbing, bizarre book I’ve ever read。 But it was actually entertaining and I had to keep reading to find out what happens。 But fuck it was weird。

whitney durham

it has a really good premise, just not written the best it could’ve been (plus the ending was kinda random and kinda stupid)

Bilge

amazing writing and world-building。the ending was。。。wow。

Saul Salinas

4。8 🌟 ¡¡Alucinante!! Solo hubiera querido que el mundo y los personajes se desarrollen mucho más。 ¡Es un libro increíble!

Phenomenally horrifying。 Stomach churning descriptions of this cannibalistic dystopia。 A brute world that can’t help but be compared so close to our own; making this book all the more captivating。

Camilo Barrios

SO GOOD OMG very well paced and focused more on the concepts of capitalism and extremism rather than unnecessary gore I loved ittt and some of the chapters were literally a page or two so it was very easy to continue reading 🤗🤗

i am speechless。 this was so disturbing it made me sick。

The ending… I can’t seem to shake the goosebumps…

Humans will get used to anything if it is accepted by those around them。 People who see nothing wrong with breeding and slaughtering animals to eat them are definitely capable of conforming to cannibalism。 It's no different, they would still ignore how horrific it is in favour of social norms and convenience。 Humans will get used to anything if it is accepted by those around them。 People who see nothing wrong with breeding and slaughtering animals to eat them are definitely capable of conforming to cannibalism。 It's no different, they would still ignore how horrific it is in favour of social norms and convenience。 。。。more

Horrifying! Disgusting! Tender is the Flesh provides a terrifying glimpse into a future without animals。 I can't say I loved this book。 I wanted to scrub my brain and forget the images it planted in my head。 I will never read it again。 I was deeply repulsed by it。 I believe the author wants the reader to feel this visceral reaction to it。 Basically, if you're a meat eater, it forces you to examine how people currently treat animals that are used for meat。 Would you eat human flesh if that was yo Horrifying!

holy hell dit boek is zo fucked up。 en dat einde, mijn god。 ik weet verder niet zo goed wat ik erover moet zeggen, alleen dat tender is the flesh echt het naarste boek is dat ik ooit heb gelezen。 tegelijkertijd is het een dunne lijn tussen wat er in het boek gebeurt en wat er in de echte wereld gebeurt。

I read this in 5 hours straight and I don’t know what to think。 I somewhat agreed with the Marco’s thoughts on certain things and then his actions and the ending completely changed my mind。 The author made this dystopian future seem like it could actually happen and the detail in the scenes was disgusting but just made the book that more realistic。 I probably should have taken breaks with this book with all that is talked about, but I was so addicted I couldn’t stop reading。

Lo primero que me encanto de la historia fue la forma en que esta escrito por momento olvidaba lo intensa que era la historia。Este libro me ha hecho cuestionarme cosas que antes no había considerado ni por error definitivamente vale totalmente la pena

4。5⭐️。 “It’s meat with a first and last name。”“His brain warns him that there are words that cover up the world。”The best book I’ve read in a while。 A gripping world with a rich and interesting main character。 A unique concept that kept me wanting to learn more while being on the edge of too much。 The author playing with just enough ties to reality and conspiracy。 Just when I thought I knew where it was going I didn’t。 I’ll be thinking about it for a while。

Amy Cutlip

I have no words。 The most disturbing novel I’ve ever encountered, yet the allegory for capitalism is so tightly written I have to give 5 stars。 The ending … just what the fuck。 This whole thing。 I can’t。 TW for literally everything。

Couldn’t put it down。 Nasty little perfect book

Kyley Findley

This is so messed up and nihilistic but also poetic。 I think its not a far shot from representing our current society and how we view certain things。 Would I read it again? Probably not。 It was gruesome。 Would I recommend it to everyone? Definitely not。 You need to be able to enjoy gruesome and nihilistic stories。 But this is a thinker for sure。 I went in with preconceived ideas about the ending, how it was supposed to be crazy, and I still wasn’t expecting what it was。

this book will haunt me for a long time; i like that
