I get why some people are very disturbed by this. But still I appreciate how the author experiments on intrusive and impulsive thoughts, blurring reality and imagination. There are some parts in this book that I found funny, like this one:

"Since when did sitting down and having some water get rid of the desire to die?"

Yea, that sums up my kind of humor 😀
