    Disturbing

    This is a very effective story. It exposes truths we don't really want to face. If you're human, you probably should read this and think about which character you are. I found a little of myself in all of them. Yeah. Disturbing.

    Super Sad!!

    I cannot believe the man did nothing! Of course you would have to read the story to know what I am talking about, but if you have a weaker stomach for hate, please judge this book by it's cover! It was a good book, but just plain sad and even upsetting at what society has to offer at times.
