It started out with a horrifically sad event and continued to add one depressing event on top of the other. I was depressed the entire time I was reading it, and only suffered through to the end in hopes of some enlightenment or some redeeming feature. I actually threw this book in the trash when I finished it rather than donating it to a library- I don't think anybody else should suffer through reading something so depressing!”
