The book mostly covers Armin’s search for a willing victim (there are hundreds of websites and chat rooms that cater to cannibals and their “meat”), goes into great detail about the two men’s fateful meeting and how the crime was carried out - on videotape (later, police officers who viewed the tape had to go into counseling) - and the trial that followed. He begged to be butchered alive, starting with his penis (of which he ate some, sitting bleeding in Armin’s kitchen as the cannibal fried it in a pan and served it up on the good china). The gruesome, unbelievable story will stick with you for a long, long time - and what makes it all the more appalling is that the victim was such a willing participant.

Here is what Staci Wilson from thought of the book: I mean, who willingly offers themselves up to be killed? It was a whole new level that the courts never though they’d have to deal with. Yes, he did murder someone but at the sametime the victim was willing and knew what he was doing. I think the most interesting part of the book or case is really the trial. I even did a search myself and came across a few. I was amazed that such websites exsisted and what not. It’s the story of Armin Meiwes who placed an ad looking for someone who was willing to be killed and well, digested.
