Ian may not have wanted to be thrust into the spotlight, but that’s exactly what happens when he makes a Halloween costume choice that causes controversy. I’m curious what the costume choice actually was and if he ended up regretting it or doubling down on his right to wear the costume. Despite it being a slow build, this could be a very interesting story. Thanks for the review!

This intriguing story seems to revolve around a controversial costume choice that Ian makes and the consequences the two friends face for their choice.

The title of this book is captivating. The fact that it outlines the socio-political landscape makes it more intriguing in some sense. I like the way the author reflects on performance activism, racial apathy, racial stereotypes, etc. They add value to the content with a clear goal or motive.

I was entertained by the writing style and humor of the author when I was reading the sample. The book review encourages me to read the rest of it. I'd like to see how the story plays out as it follows the lives of students, professors, and administrators on a college campus. Well done!

Although I think social and political activism is important, it’s not a topic that I’d like to read about casually. I appreciate this review, very informative and gave me a good picture of the book.

At first, I thought this going to be a horror book. But even so, I am curious to find out what kind of controversial costume Ian wears. So I'll definitely try to read this book. Thanks for the review.

For awhile now I'm looking for something different to my normal genre and I think I've found it. This seems like an interesting read although it's slow paced. I'm rather excited to see what Thomas and Ian is up to and also how this has a socio-political effect. Thanks for a detailed and informative review.

Who knew a Halloween costume could cause so much mayhem? Hopefully, Troy and Ian can get out of the mess they made! Protestors, militants, and reporters? Yikes! Too bad about the slow start, but glad it picked afterwards and that the slow start made sense. I like that there are some sociopolitical issues discussed among the humor and that this was professionally edited. Satire isn’t for me, but thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for the honest review. The controversy caused by Halloween costumes leaves me in suspense. Ian and Troy must have been in a mishmash.
