Fat off sex and violence intrigues as much as it disturbs with its graphic content and explosive conclusion.
My first Shane McKenzie book and while not as disturbing as I was expecting, still enough gore and violence to keep me reading.
I didn't love nor hate this, but I can't really fault it either because it is what it is. Graphic horrific content. I felt a little removed from the action in this, almost as if I were a spectator behind glass. It might have been the character and my inability to relate to him, more than any writing style or technique.
Certainly not for those with weak stomachs or sympathetic vomiters, Fat off sex and violence should intrigue as much as it disturbs with its graphic content and explosive conclusion.
I'm keen to see what else Shane has on offer, this will not be the last of his I read.
