This book had a lot of information. TRIGGER WARNING: violent implications against children. The book in whole was good but as someone who is sensitive towards violence or abuse against children, the depictions in this book surrounding that subject were not only vivid but fully evil. I read the whole book because I can’t not finish a book I’ve started but, that was very hard to read about. Something to consider.
Graphic: War, Genocide, Child death, Child abuse, Murder, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Violence, Animal cruelty, Rape, Drug abuse, and Injury/Injury detail
Children Harm/Sexual abuse was beyond sickening. The toddlers in the box are still in my mind, something I wish I never read.
