All I'll say is that I have never felt such sympathy for a main character as I have for Leon, and that is something that the book community knows to be rare.

I must confess it took me a while to get through because I've been so busy, and this book is not one to read late at night. It demands your attention, your reflections.
Now I read this in Portuguese, so here goes one of my favourite parts...
Houve uma altura em que me honrou com a sua confianca. Se calhar, ja se esqueceu de mim. Como aconteceu que eu esteja a escrever-lhe agora? Nao sei, mas tive o desejo imperioso de faze-la lembrar-se de mim, precisamente a si. Muitas vezes senti que precisava das tres, mas das tres so a si imaginava. Preciso muito, mas muito, de si. Nao tenho nada a escrever-lhe de mim, nada a contar-lhe. Nem o queria; desejo apenas que esteja muito feliz. Esta feliz? Era so isso que queria dizer-lhe.
Poderoso.
Moderate: Mental illness and Toxic relationship
Minor: Alcoholism, Death, and Death of parent
