The author spend too much time trying to show how clever and deep they were that the story just got lost in itself and fell off into rambling nonsense towards the end.
Some chapters are very good at creating frightening, atmospheric horror but overall this should have stayed as a creative writing project in someone's journal imo.

This story focuses heavily on the fascism and socio-political climate of England. As an American reader, the themes and concepts did translate and the story resonated deeply with me, but you will find it feels slightly misaligned with American fascism simply because they are different breeds of the same species.
Some may find the imagery and messaging too heavy handed, but for me it never really felt out of place. When reading others' opinions I would think 'of course it's heavy handed, fascism is heavy handed. It beat's itself into you and many do not even notice.'

This book made me deeply uncomfortable the entire time I read it. I don't regret reading it, as it is a good look at how easy it is to fall into fascist ideology, especially for young people and marginalized individuals.
It is not for everyone, but if you have the stomach for it, it's worth a read.
