Red Meat Cures Cancer

Maybe I'm more of a stick-in-the-mud than I originally thought. The book, though obviously satire, just didn't strike me as all that funny. I could tell the author's political stance within the first 5 pages, and didn't love the played out stereotypes. I felt the author took too easy of a path intellectually and that, in my opinion, hurt what could have been a brilliant novel. I gave it 3 stars because it had a lot of potential, and would appeal to those who adhere to the same worldview/political stance as the author.

Red Meat Cures Cancer is the kind of dark humor that is hit-or-miss. Although there were parts of it were I was laughing out loud, there were also segments were I felt the humor was forced. Most characters besides Sky feel underdeveloped, some on the border of one-dimensional caricature. When I reached the conclusion, there was a feeling that something was missing, as I wondered "is that it?"
I guess that it is up to each person's taste, and I could only recommend this read to those who are really into dark humor.

When I saw the title of this book I expected something unusual, something a little out of the ordinary, and I 'm not disappointed. This book was funny and interesting, even more so than I thought. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone, and I would definitely look for more by this author.

Such a fun read that will have you laughing out loud. It certainly is an entertaining way to pass an afternoon. I really enjoyed it. I received this from LibraryThing Member Giveaway for an honest review.

I had a hard time getting into this book but about half way in I knew I had to finish and I still haven't decided if I liked it or not. I did find some parts of the book funny but some of the story was just a bit too serious to see the humour in. Although I did like his other two books this one just didn't do it for me. I still look forward to more from this author and this book has not turned me away from reading more.
