5.0

I love this book. It's a spoof on action/adventure. It challenges gender without making me sad about how bad shit is out there. It raises big ethical questions and then finishes the chapter with a joke about how dumb the military industrial complex is. Incredible.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Gore

Minor: Transphobia

The gore is out of control, but it is played for laughs, and not dwelled upon for long. Trans characters exist, and also the book is loaded with incels. You do the math. But Trans characters are seen in the eyes of the book as valid.
