This book didn't really do it for me. It's an interesting concept and I liked the few gore/horror illustrations.

I wish there was more engagement with disability politics. The book barely scratches the surface and that felt like a missed opportunity. And I think I would have preferred less side plots and stories, as well as less explanation of the medical and scientific processes taking place. I'd rather know less than be bogged down by so many intricate details. Maybe that's perfect for you!
