5.0
It'd be hard to choose, but I think this is my favourite book, ever. Gloriously irreverent, packed full of jokes and humour, endlessly quotable, and able to make some quite profound points about life and philosophy when it has the time around the edges.
Graphic: Death and Eating disorder
Moderate: Homophobia, Racism, and War
Minor: Fatphobia
There is a GRAPHIC depiction of a person suffering an eating disorder. It's meant to be upsetting to make a point, but still, proceed with caution. Most of the humour still holds up, but some hasn't aged well, including several homophobic or racist remarks. Not usually outright cruel, but certainly dodgy nowadays.madamenovelist's review against another edition

Graphic: Body horror and Death
Moderate: Homophobia and Xenophobia
Homophobia listed bc the f-slur is used for humor, xenophobia bc some of the jokes about minorities are harmful stereotypes. Definitely a product of 90s sensibilities, otherwise a very hilarious and touching book.
