Compelling in a certain sense - it’s constructed effectively, I guess. But it’s disappointing that the entire premise and development of the book is based on the most obvious, stereotypical, racist tropes. When you see all the content warnings flagged by users - Islamophobia, racism, et al - that is not content in the book; it IS the book, it is the writer. It’s not good. Had to speed it up to nearly 3x just to slog through it on a long drive, today.
