This was a case of being drawn in by a title and cover and it not living up to it's promise. Sadly this book didn't work for me and after showing real potential with the opening chapter it failed to continue that high and really didn't engage me.
Based on the premise and opening chapter I was hoping for a gory, cannabalism storyline with literal eating of the rich but unfortunately my expectations weren't met and I worry that other readers will feel the same way.
A case of reader beware - this may not be the story you're expecting but as always with any book I will say that just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you.
