Note: I pictured Richard Ayoade as Jeevan, Jesse Plemons as August, Con O’Neill as Dieter, Andrew Garfield as Sayid, Andre Michaan very faintly as Clark, and a wishy-washy mix of Tom Hiddleston/Brian Cox as Arthur.
Graphic: Death, Torture, Kidnapping, Trafficking, and War
Moderate: Abandonment, Grief, Religious bigotry, Violence, Pedophilia, Slavery, Genocide, Gun violence, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Alcoholism, Cannibalism, Child death, Death of parent, Death, and Suicidal thoughts
I added lots of content warnings for this book, but as a pretty sensitive person, I can honestly say I didn’t find this book upsetting— moreso realistic in an apocalyptic context. It touches on many serious topics but it does so in a justified and non-shocking way.lynxpardinus's review against another edition

Graphic: Pandemic/Epidemic, Medical content, Suicide, Adult/minor relationship, Child death, Death, Gun violence, Kidnapping, and Violence
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Blood, Colonisation, Death of parent, Injury/Injury detail, Mental illness, Ableism, Alcohol, Animal death, Drug use, Infidelity, Pedophilia, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Rape and War
Adult/minor relationship warning is partially for a couple who met when one was a minor. Ableism warning is for the trope of a disabled character dying as part of an abled character's story. Colonisation warning is just in case, for discussion of Israel in a normalized light.nchildebrand's review against another edition
