Summary

From the rubble-strewn streets of US-occupied Baghdad, the scavenger Hadi collects human body parts and stitches them together to create a corpse. His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognise the parts as people and give them a proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realises he has created a monster: one that needs human flesh to survive - first from the guilty, and then from anyone who crosses its path.

Quite original

Overall I enjoyed this book. A bunch of interesting characters made up for the occasional weakness of the plot and the narration was mostly pretty good. The narrator’s voice is quite pleasant in the decriptino part. In the dialogues he tries to put on different voices/accents for different characters with varied effect. Still, worth a listen I’d say.

Interesting concept

Interesting ideas and point of view but it suffers from descriptive writing.

The audio is not great, monotone and the choice of making accents is appalling.
