This book was painstakingly slow. It didn't invoke much in me even though the theme had great potential to be extremely provoking. While the ending felt somewhat inspirational, the whole thing felt dull and mundane. Maybe that's what the author intended, but it was simply too boringkhartke's review against another edition

However I felt that the right ideas and sentences were just flooded with randomness. I found it way too wordy, too long and because of this it lost important meaning. I really struggled through it because it was so slow. I understand that that might be the point but it just made me want to put the book down and I have read more meaningful depictions of depression using way less words. Then in contrast the ending felt rushed, unnecessary and hard to believe in the context of the rest of the book.
Another thing that bothered me was how much I felt like this was almost a guide of sorts. Like "How to go about dealing with trauma and coming back reset" There's a fine line there and to me it just felt dangerous to put this book out and act like in the end it just worked out for the main character.
