Breathing Out the Ghost by Kirk Curnutt

1.0

Honestly? I debated even accepting this book because I knew the subject matter -- man dealing with the kidnapping/murder of his child -- would be difficult to handle. And I was right. I think Curnutt did well in that everything was so blunt; nothing was hidden or sugar-coated. But it was a bit (!) difficult for me to stomach. I wanted to go and lock my children up and never let them outside again. I didn't want to see/know/feel anything that was being presented. It's not a happy book, or even a hopeful one, really. I was depressed reading it. But... that's all just me. It may be a good book; I am just not equipped to deal with it.
