3.0

I originally rated this book 4.75 stars. I lowered it after 24 hours because I took some time to reflect on certain things in the book. 
The way the author made the atheist characters caricatures of atheist people and the bad guys, while the racist side character is a victim by the end. A lot of the shocking stuff they do sounds a lot like what conservatives claim about drag shows and (other) LGBT communities (seriously who would buy a 5yr old a book that discussed anal and oral sex????). It didn’t really sit well with me considering the other themes in the book

It’s a well written and spooky book with some really good pictures hence my original rating but part of it did read like right wing fear mongering with some light fatphobia sprinkled in.
