I felt slightly misled by all the people saying this was a fun book, because at least the first 150 pages were basically non stop trauma. But it was gripping and i did come to appreciate the kind of dark humour in the second half of the book. Quite a satisfying ending and I liked the more general point with the cooking show about how you can make serious impacts and get serious points across with something that's not necessarily where you would expect to find those things.
