This book is dark, weird and uncomfortable but I find it not as disturbing as some have described before. Yes it’s about a tough subject matter but the underlying pull going on with the psyche is where the true story is at.

"When you're five and you hurt, you make a big noise unto the world. At ten you whimper. But by the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain."
