 I really need to think on this a bit more. I hated reading this book with a passion, but after a while, I realised I needed to look at it from another angle too. So I will do that.

I hate this kid, and I hate even more that I relate to his anger. I could choke him, but he lives in the back of my head. What an absolutely mean little pest he and I are. And we're both too old for this.

Honestly, if it weren't for the absolute vulgarity of the language most of these triggers would be bearable. It's 200 pages of intense non-stop cursing. I read it in 2014 and it still haunts me.
