This book is some good dystopian horror. The premise is that a mysterious virus has made livestock dangerous to eat, so now humans are being raised as livestock and cannibalism is not only state sanctioned but encouraged. 
Lots of class commentary and capitalism critique is baked in. 
Only docked a half a point cause a development at the end felt a little unearned to me. But generally a great read!
