„Die Einsamkeit in uns können wir nur gemeinsam überwinden.“

„Es passiert nicht mehr so häufig, dass Bilder der Vergangenheit nach mir greifen, doch wenn es geschieht, bin ich jedes Mal überrascht, wie sehr das Licht der Erinnerung manche Momente zum Leuchten bringt.“

The writing style of the first ~50 pages sounded so pretentious - as if the author desperately wants his book to be talked about in high schools. 

It got better after that and was easy to read (which kinda saved it from a really bad rating), but contemporary literature about the regrets and tragedies in the life of a middle aged white guy just isn't my jam.
