This book is heartbreaking when you read it as a

suicide note.

It’s very deeply troubled and misogynistic. It simply reads like a cry for help. His depiction of

childhood trauma

is so visceral I had to put the book down at a couple points. There’s real heart here but it’s being squeezed. More than anything, I just felt an overwhelming sadness reading it.

It very well shows the mind of someone with mental illness works, how hard it get happiness. It's also extreme amazing how a book published so long ago its still so relevant to this day
