Absolutely brutal. 

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.

The most horrifying and disgusting book I have ever read. 
Also one of the most excellent.
Will give you nightmares and make you nauseous. 
Absolutely brilliant book about trauma, Fascism, and the Trans experience.

challenging dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

3.5

This book is not for the faint-hearted. It's a story of a racist, xenophobic, hateful house representing the racist, xenophobic, hateful history of a country with racist, xenophobic, hateful people as the main characters. And FUCK, it does mess you up.
