In response to animal death TW: **UPSETTING DOG DEATH**
I picked this up, resonating with the feeling to losing my parents to right-wing media, always feeling solidarity with others who have experienced this. I think this story did a good job highlighting all of the seemingly harmless ways that people can be indoctrinated, sometimes without even knowing.
This book is very graphic and gory. It also won't leave you feeling good.

Humor and writing style wasn’t for me, but the plot was interesting enough to finish the book.
