Damn. The Fact of a Body is an extremely powerful book about deeply disturbing and difficult topics. Marzano-Lesnevich's writing is so compelling and they weave the story together so incredibly well; each scene, each word, was so carefully chosen. I won't lie, this is not an easy book to read -- there is something horrible happening on seemingly every page. All I can say is that I loved and hated every second in almost equal measure.
