I personally relate with the theme of systemic corruption and police brutality. This book reminds me of how police manhandle people in my country. I have been a victim. They picked me on the street and forced me to admit to a crime I didn't know anything about. I stood my grounds through the torture and social media were awash with my story. That's the only reason I was released.

Some other themes are: love, family, betrayal, the craving for peace, misogyny, women right, and basic human right. Those were the themes that I could relate with.

I could relate to the theme of police brutality because it's something I've experienced firsthand, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

Police brutality and war (Vietnam war) stood out for me. These themes are socio-politically significant and timely. The theme of police brutality, especially against civilians and weak citizens, are what we see across the nations of the world, especially in developing countries.

There were quite a lot of themes in this book, especially thought-provoking ones. Police brutality has been one of the major problems we are faced with, and to me , was the prominent theme in this book. Others are racism, violence, gender discrimination and so on.

Corruption and police brutality. When there is police brutality that is definitely the effect of corruption. The big theme there which gave birth to others is corruption. A corruption free country will not even have police brutality.

There are various issues covered, including the Vietnam War and child abuse, as well as tangents on love, betrayal, grief, and death. Racism is something with which I can empathize because it plays a significant role in today's attacks, murders, and killings.

I saw war, politics, bad governance, police brutality, racisms, and I also saw love, hope. I saw someone that was ready to start a revolution.
