A Good Book But is Depressing to Read (10/27/2020)
I was given the option to read this books for my school reading and report and I really like it. I like the part of different view in the book because it give a fresh perspective on things in the book, and that it wasn't really focusing on one person giving the book more in dept in the story.

The book though is depressing so if you like happy thought it be best to not read it because it truly is only about the suffering, and even at the end of the book, it really is just suffering after escaping from a suffering, so it is not recommended to read it if you don't like depressing thought to think about.

For people who didn't read this book, know that the book is not really hating any group, and that although it may be biased because it only show the minority that consist of bad things that is about America or Christian, it is book to judge at face value because when one read a book, it is best to not believe anything at all. The world of books most of the time is just a temporarily entering of that world and out, and that most of the time it does not always connect with reality. So be open minded when reading this book because it will challenge some of your worldviews, and go not just assume that the book is hating on anything.
