I've never hated reading a book so much in my life and yet couldn't put it down! It's beautiful, gut wrenching, it'll rip your heart and soul right out of your body. It in fact triggered in me a massive panic attack. But it's only because I felt everything the characters went through as if it were happening to me. It's a perfect distillation of the complexity and suffering of life. A must read book... but an incredibly hard book to read.,
