Wow, what a book. Tough to get through at times, but worth it in the end. There's an important message contained within. Ironically, this also happens to be one of the funnier books that I've read. 

Give it a shot if you can stomach it.

It was very difficult to read and while likely on purpose, the structuring on some chapters felt like filler
