I DNF Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. Part way through the first part I was getting weary of the book but kept going. I got to the end of the first part and left it a few days cause I couldn’t do it. I almost pushed myself to finished and read a few pages of part two but I couldn’t.

What didn’t you like about it? I’m curious because I also wasn’t a huge fan but somehow managed to finish. The ending sucks, you did not miss much.

The main character was my huge issue. I didn’t like him. I’m not sure I can place why but I know what sealed it was what he did at the end of part one. I’m glad I didn’t miss much.

I don’t think you were meant to like him… that’s the whole point of the book.

I think I agree with what the other person said- I don’t think you are meant to like him. I also don’t think there is anyway to write a likeable main character that works in a slaughterhouse that is killing humans. Maybe it would’ve worked better with a different pov character
