I have no skin in the game either way but it seems like any book that tries to tackle controversial materials would have some people who don't like it. Interestingly the Wikipedia page only lists negative feedback in the Reception section, despite the book having generally good reviews and accolades from multiple different experts.
The fact that the book won awards from NYT, Royal Society of Literature, BBC, and many other publications and is well-reviewed, yet Wikipedia only lists negative feedback in the Reception section indicates to me that there must be bias in the Wikipedia article. I don't see any other answer for why more than half of the article is just listing criticism that doesn't seem to be reflected across the broader industry.
Again I haven't read the book and don't really care about the subject matter either way, but the Wikipedia does not seem to hide its bias.
