It is a tough book, but so worth reading and it deserves much more attention. I already can hear people shouting 'trauma porn' and I am happy for these people to be living a life, in which only once in a while bad things are happening or none really that bad at all, but I can only wish that they are able to live protected in that bubble for good. Because out there are people who have to suffer through a lot.
My only criticism about this book is a familiar one: it is a bit too long and the ending is a bit rushed and somhow neat. Authors seem to be able to create interesting stories and to be weaving in a lot of ideas and details, but often don't really know how to wrap everything up with the same intensity and plausibility.
Nonetheless is this a hot candidate for one of my books of the year.Â
