For me, this book seemed almost like a love letter to the US. The main character travels around (even coming to my city at one point and mentioning a tiny town just minutes from where I grew up). It showed the absolute majesty and beauty of America. But it still acknowledges the horrors, both past and present that America has done. The themes that this book explores are interesting. Neil Gaiman is a master in storytelling.
Content warning that doesn't necessarily fit into any of the listed categories:
Graphic: Toxic friendship, Kidnapping, War, Death, Child death, Blood, Car accident, Gaslighting, Colonisation, Racism, Sexual content, Slavery, Torture, Gore, Injury/Injury detail, and Violence
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship
