This book hit me like a brick.
The beginning was a challenge for me and I struggled along page by page. I had weird dreams where I was trying to understand what I was reading and understand what the point was - why was it written?
I was shocked in the end when I not only knew, but felt the why. I understood it in a whole way that I haven't felt in a very very long time. And I feel like I am a different person now than I was when I went in.
