This was very hard to read. Maybe I'm not used to books that sum up someone's life almost completely, and I felt like I constantly had to pause so my delay in reading would fill the gaps... Once I managed to pick it up again, and read more than a page at a time, it was really very good. So sad. Just so, so sad. But so well done. Honestly though, if I could go back and choose whether or not to read it... I probably wouldn't. While I'm glad to have read it, it was also extremely hard and unsettling to read.
