“Brilliant review for a brilliant book: | Such a good important and essential book. As was the article. Both reveal the hierarchy of racism that contradicts history in favour of ideology. For example did u notice those who didnt mention Jews at all on Holocaust Memorial Day,trying to make it a day when all lives matter | Such an enlightening book. | Such an interesting book by @Baddiel called 'Jews Don't Count. ' So good I've asked him to come on the show and talk about the 'hierarchy of racism' and not the "Jewish space laser". @bbc5live | This is a very good book. Essential reading for anyone who has been confused about antisemitism on the Left in recent years and, essentially, what the Jewish British experience has become. Bravo, @Baddiel | Will add to the chorus of great reviews for @Baddiel's 'Jews Don't Count'; a fascinating, thought provoking and thorough account of the biases, blind spots and hypocrisies of progressives. The book is literally a longer conversation than what can be said on Twitter. A must read. | Yes. PLEASE if you consider yourself antiracist please read this book or get the audio version ITS SHORT and you need to read it | the whole book out just brilliant and very much needed”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider 11/22/63 by Stephen King. Recommended by 4 sources.
“Starts as a lean, suspenseful time-travel premise that quickly settles into an immersive, character-focused saga. Its chief useful part is the way everyday 1960s small-town life and personal relationships make the historical stakes feel immediate; the novel rewards readers who relish atmosphere and slow moral puzzles. The main limitation is length and digressions—long domestic passages and episodic subplots stretch the middle and can undercut urgency for readers who wanted a tighter thriller.”
