I have ... actually, quite a few for different reasons. But I chose the entire opening paragraph because it is really disgusting and I like it😬

LeahBergen It is a really disgusting and vivid opening, isn't it?? So great. 8y
Simona @LeahBergen I was wondering WTF I am reading, this is for Man Booker Prize? At the end - I loved this book and it was my candidate for short list. Descriptions of brutality (of people and nature) are absolutely excellent. 8y
KVanRead I've been wanting to read this for a while and wow, that is quite the opening!😍 8y

vivjm I don't think I've ever read a book with as many vivid descriptions of bodily fluids! It was a fun read though, for sure! 8y
Simona @vivjm Yes, it's very picturesque. 8y
Simona @KVanRead @fern This is a good description of the whole book - wonderfully gross. 8y
