slowly_dying_inside's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense

3.0

This was an informative read, but I was not too fond of the pretentious way it was written. Nor was I fond of the graphic descriptions of the different kinds of abuse the author encountered ( I was expecting a less detailed description but was caught off guard by the disgusting way people can treat others).
