There were some fun or interesting moments, for sure, but overall I would not say I had a good time with this book and I can see very clearly now why I never ended up finishing this book the first time around. HIGHLY recommend the audiobook for this one rather than trying to trudge through reading it yourself.
Moderate: Rape and Sexism
Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Pedophilia
rape and sexual violence of all sorts is sort of peppered into probably almost every chapter as a way to make the world seem gritty. it isn't described in detail, and I don't believe anyone is actually raped within the text, but it is mentioned often enough that I upgraded it from minor to moderate. the same goes for sexism. both within the world, and a bit within the author's way of describing his female characters. it's not the worst, but it's not great. the adult/minor relationship is very very brief, pretty much doesn't happen at all, but is fairly graphic and we're in the minor's head as she considers entering into it. the pedophilia is slightly less brief but is purely the ramblings of one gross character, and everyone around her finds her "interests" pretty disgusting.
