The narration and tone felt a bit detached from the story to me, and I found that the author was a bit too flippant in his handling of some historical events, especially in the further reading section. Otherwise I appreciated the humour and the way historical events were worked into the story.
Graphic: Homophobia and Torture
Moderate: Forced institutionalization
