4.5

every sentence in this book was straight up facts and it hit me like a bulldozer 

"Then I wanted to beg him to forgive me. But this would have been too great a confession; any yielding at that moment would have locked me forever in that room with him. And in a way this was exactly what I wanted."

I cannot cry to this book, for my mind has been too busy understanding how a troubled mind can speak real terrors to another's life. Such a well written book, I fell smoothly into David's thoughts, though sometimes his self-awareness was tiring, in a true way.

"Poor Giovanni! Poor man! Poor men! Poor me!"
