A (not so) brief note first: I read it again and still liked it and really can't understand how it could be deemed bad enough to stop selling. It has now been banned by Amazon for the Kindle format but they are still selling the paperback (because that makes sense, right?). If you want this for Kindle, you will need to buy it on Smashwords and send it to Kindle. 
 If this type of extreme taboo (perceived or otherwise) is not your jam, that is totally fine. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences for the fiction they read...and it is just that, fiction, a made up story...and those should be respected and appreciated. Censorship is not okay. Amazon banning this book was not okay. It really bothers me on principle alone even. But it is worse knowing that I have read so much worse, including a lot cruel and illegal activities as well as a bunch of taboo topics in many different books yet all of those are still currently allowed and sold by amazon for kindle. Goes to show how screwed this decision and and their policies are. 
 And now my review: This will be a love it or hate it book for many people due to the content. If you can't handle super taboo, then this book isn't for you. The writing is great and the story telling is interesting and captivating. 
 I thought The Wild was great. Maybe I am broken because I wasn't offended. I loved the story. I also appreciated it as something from the author's imagination and as a book meant for entertainment purposes. I wanted to read it straight through and when I had to take a 10 hour break for plans I couldn't / wouldn't break (I would have cancelled most other things just to keep reading this book since I was so enthralled) this book was on my mind most of the time. I did read a few pages while at stop lights and each time I had to pee, but for the most part, I was going crazy waiting to be able to pick it back up. I finished reading after I got home though and now after sleeping for 4 hours, this book is still first thing on my mind. 
 I don't want to give anything away, even with spoiler tags. But honestly, it is more fun to read and give it a chance going in blind...again, only if you don't have taboo hangups. 
 Seriously, this is taboo af. You have been warned. Don't bother unless you can have an open mind and you don't get offended or weirded out easily. 
 I've already ordered the paperback for this and it arrives in a couple days!! I will probably read it again when it arrives.
