Disturbed
I couldn't stop reading the book because I was hoping that at some point something has to go right.

The book was disturbing and depressing. It actually made it hard for me to sleep because it made me sick to my stomach.

The author can really write... But the stuff that he wrote was disturbing and I would have appreciated to know more about what the book is about on the back so you could be prepared for what you are about to read... Yuk. Did not like this book. Do not read if you would not like to be depressed. Unless you enjoy reading about suicide and people being tragically and disturbingly killed.
