4.0
I think this book is hilarious, very accessible and a satirical meditation on how extreme, and honestly ridiculous the hype and moral panic surrounding terrorism and crime in association with People of Colour and Muslim people can be. This novel also subtly highlights the lack of reflexivity and reflection on the part of white Australians, who are extremely willing to blame People of Colour for really any sign of neighbourhood disorder and societal breakdown, without considering or recognising their own (generally exorbitant) contribution to this situation. This book toed the line between light reading and the confrontation of some very significant issues that confront our society.
