I thought I was going to get a funny Grand Tour book, but this was far more painful than I expected. There was a lot of harmful tropes that were used to further the plot.
It’s hard to look past the bury your gays ending and suggesting that a character was driven to suicide because his Jewish lineage is discovered is blatant antisemitism.
