I have pondered reading the book, but your review has given me a pass. I'm not an avid reader anyway.
I'm looking forward to the movie, I hope it's not another death by sequel.
I'm glad I took the time to read this thread. I had neither seen nor heard about "pig butchering" before reading this thread.
When I was a child, friends took me to a traditional pig butchering, which rendered me traumatized for weeks.
