It is a short book, fast read, and definitely interesting, with a unique perspective.
Liked it, it fell a bit flat for me.

When I see cliched trailers of a melodramatic movie, that makes me want to live.
And when celebrities I like joke on TV.
And when the gruff owner of the neighborhood store cries as he watches a drama on TV.
What else?
When I see evening clouds that have all kinds of colors mixed together.
When I see a nice word I didn't know before.
I'll jut keep going, okay?

a heartbreaking little book
