I can't honestly say that I've ever been to a drag show, but they sound fun. I'd be interested in going. And given that drag is in the news right now, due to absolute cretins objecting to drag queens reading to children in public libraries I thought I'd give this a go. (Literacy! The horror! Like The Very Hungry Caterpillar is suddenly irredeemable perversion if read by someone in a colourful wig. I mean seriously, get a grip. Anyone who's willing to spend time teaching kids to read can dress as whatever the hell they want, signed someone-who's-actually-worked-in-a-library.) 

I enjoyed it. Mostly I just felt sympathetic to this poor kid who was really suffering at the thought of going to hell and losing their family and just being generally unworthy of any good thing. I'm glad they grew up to find something that made them happy and gave them a sense of self-worth. We could all use some more hopeful stories these days. And the cover is gorgeous; I love the sparkly tentacles.
