This was in no way disturbing or terrifying, those words are way to profound and powerful to describe this book. From those words you expected to be emotional wrecked afterwards and I was not. Maybe those words are only in reference to when the book was released?
It was a logical, easy, good read but I wasn't left horrified as I expected and kind of wanted to be.
