I'm pretty depressed by some cold hearted reviews I have seen on here that consider this book to be some kind of 'pity party'. Perhaps those people have never struggled with trauma, loss and mental health issues and have no empathy. EVERY person deserves to feel validated, heard and understood about the difficulties they have been through with mental health, especially with such a trauma trigger as losing a parent to an ongoing personal threat a.k.a journalists. This is an insightful and emotional snapshot into a well discussed life. I think he did the absolute right thing in telling his story in his words, and taking the power away from the press narrative. It gives a much more rounded view of his life and character, and informs of the ceaseless trials of press victimisation. I certainly felt pretty angry in reading about just how much they get away with and how complicit the family may have been, it made me feel sad for him. The UK press are disgusting and embarrassing for us.
