Fascinating premise. Some pacing issues but an exciting and unexpected ending!

Fantastic concept. Think I would've liked it better if it was longer, but it was just fine as is. Would've been more impressed had the ending not been as predictable. Nonetheless, The Big Meat was exactly what it needed to be: gross, monster filled, and a good bedtime story.

First CMIII book I’ve read and it didn’t disappoint. For some reason I had it in my head that this would read like a crappy B-horror movie (which is totally fine by me) but was pleasantly surprised by how well written it was and how fleshed out the characters were. Will definitely be picking more up by Mellick!

What happens after a giant monster that makes Godzilla look like the size of a pug is killed? The Big Meat shows you the aftermath of trying to get rid of a corpse the size of Mount Everest. It's a fantastic story and one of the most enjoyable books I've read this year.

Honestamente no esperaba encontrarme con una trama tan atrapante como esta. La historia y los personajes se sienten súper realistas y me podía imaginar los escenarios a la perfección.
La narrativa está bien llevada, sigo enamorada del concepto y de como se desarrolló. No se que más decir sobre este libro, definitivamente voy a leer más del autor.
Solo le quité medio punto porque el final estuvo acelerado, generalmente no me gustan los finales abiertos, pero siento que con un poco más de desarrollo al final no me hubiera molestado tanto.

I feel like this is a refreshing angle on the whole "kaiju" genre. Most of the times they focus on the fight against the creatures instead of the aftermath and its effects. I'm puzzled by the ending however. I don't know how to feel. It took an unexpected turn wich I loved but it just ended so abruptly.
