My Opinion

Meat by Dane Cobain is a creature horror with its fantastic atmospheric plot. The book has an interesting start with its absorbing storyline. Although, the plot has its Ups and Downs but eventually it pulled off with a great climax. The author has tried to give us a message on animal cruelty and, definitely it was evident from the plot. I loved the setting of the book which was so descriptive that it felt like I was living in the story.

There are no special characters which I can talk about as all of them had distinct roles to play. Each character was given a different mindset which added more to the excitement. The most amazing fact is the story tries teach us about how humans are encroaching the Earth. I would live to watch a movie adaptation of the book. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.
