This review was first posted on Music, Books and TeaWhat with all the hype surrounding this book and its movie, there was very little chance that I was going to pass on this book. Its plot was what drew me to the book, I haven’t read many (if any) books focusing on mental issues, so it was an extrem...
I enjoyed reading this book. It was a bit weird for me at the beginning but once I understood what was going on I really enjoyed it.
