Fascinating

This is not your typical fiction or even non-fiction book. I understand this book to be loosely autobiographical, which makes it even more fascinating. I read this book in two hours -- I could not put it down. I have since read it two more times and will read it again, as there is so much to grasp. It is painful, gripping, strange, and beautiful.

I picked it up and did not put it down, literally, until I had finished the final page. I loaned it to friends and they had the same experience. This book takes its place among the breaths of writing that change all who interact with it. This is a book to be loved.
