This book was recommended by a friend and at times made me chuckle out loud for being way over the top. But, in an entertaining way, given all the present-day tongue in cheek subjects in today’s news. Racism. Book-banning. Misogynism. Anti-gay sentiment. And the rise of Trumpian Nationalism. I probably should have used a scorecard to keep all the characters straight. But it deftly illustrated that one should not follow uneducated conventions, but be free to read and open to differing opinions. Banning books or editing what we are allowed to read is not the way forward.
