2020 review:
It took me quite some time to read this book, but not because I didn't enjoy it. I find Jesse Bering's writing style quite soothing and funny, even though he is dealing with quite difficult subject matter. The book provides a balance between academic research and personal experiences (both his as well as that of other people). It is an honest, painful and funny analysis of humans, behaviour, society, religion, etc.
I would definitely recommend it; however, as indicated by the amount of time it took me to get through this book, it is not an easy reading experience. It is still suicide, and regardless of how funny and down-to-earth Jesse is, it is extremely heart-breaking to read about.Â
