This book feels and reads like a political post nut clarity - and that's good?

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.

This book was a bit much for me. I like horror stories but there was a lot happening here. Definitely look at the content warnings if you want to read it, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it personally. I'm rating it down the middle because I honestly am not sure I've processed it enough.
