Minor: Infidelity, Islamophobia, Racial slurs, Misogyny, Grief, Hate crime, Physical abuse, Death, Domestic abuse, Excrement, Sexism, Blood, Cannibalism, Animal death, and Emotional abuse
Lots of sordid and terrible things happen to and around and by these characters but the author mostly rushes right through everything without exploring the situations.gabspina's review against another edition

Not sure I covered all the things that go down in this book, pretty much every chapter has some absolutely abysmal content.roadki77's review against another edition

As for the story itself, the characters were all kinda annoying, especially Pangloss. How these characters barely escape death is beyond me.
The journey Candide went through was interesting in itself, though.
