Not a "fun read" in any sense, in fact frightening and difficult - and only too real and way to soon, this isn't any fiction like I know. Not the greatest character development, perhaps; but this book covers pretty much everything and leaves the reader with certainty that being open for ways one might help just a little can lead to things getting better - a true message of hope in a very bleak time. I agree everyone today should read this book, sadly fanciful as it will turn out to be.
