The frequency and detail with which the author describes grotesqueries such as abuse, self harm and pedophilia are truly horrific. Nothing that I got out of this book was worth it to have to put myself through those MANY passages. I'm honestly disgusted with the author, who seemingly found pleasure in describing these acts in increasingly disturbing ways.
