3.5

If you go into this book thinking it’ll be anything like Jojo Rabbit, you’ll be gravely disappointed. There’s no Imaginary Hitler or campy humor here; rather, it’s a disturbing portrait of propaganda, obsession, and control. Recommended for people who love narrators who are also awful people à la Lolita.
