This is a book I continue to think about weeks and months after I read it. It gives a unique and powerful perspective on race and the slave trade, which revealed things to me about my own biases. The satire clever and funny, but the book was difficult to read because of the graphic violence. The violence made the book all the more hard-hitting and poignant, but it isn't always an enjoyable reading experience. This book is a must-read but should not be picked up lightly.
