The entire thing is a satire on Western Chr*stain religious beliefs and makes constant mention of godmobymaize's review against another edition

Some things were kind of hard to get over. In particular there were some sections with very serious lapses in judgement with regard to race and racism, as well as fatphobia and homophobia. It definitely takes you out of the story a bit, especially their use of slurs, which while common back in the 90s, are still sharp against the ear and I feel inexcusable. Just something to be aware of going into the book. I may watch the show as I’ve heard good things about the revamping.

2023: Still loved this book, but boy howdy I didn’t remember how badly a lot of it aged. But I did love reading it after watching the show, and picturing the actors and hearing their voices. Made it even better.
