All My Rage destroys me enough, along with my love, my faith, and my rage. It is incredibly phenomenal. THE ENDING, good God, my tears suddenly stream in an endless flow. That is a PERFECT end. I'm glad it was written that way. Solid 5 stars for my tears. We CHEERS (with glass filled with tears, of course). 

FYI, just FYI, my tears taste less tasty after I read this book. I cried THAT much.

It was good, but definitely way heavier than what I was anticipating. It felt depressing at times, but the writing itself was great and I especially loved how culture was at the forefront.
