Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The protagonist reconciles with his daughter.
Con: This story is painful to read--the grisly details of dismembering and cooking the body of a loved one are almost unbearable. The whole thing is impossible to believe, from start to end.

I really didn't know what to think of this - I was unable to stop reading despite not enjoying what was being told even one little bit. It managed to convey a vast amount of pain and hurt. I think it was an excellent story that I never want to have to read again.
