5.0

This book is a history of helplessness of a young, broken person in a brutal world. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with suicidal thoughts or with because it’s really tense and the problem of suicide is explicit. I remember crying for a long time after I read the last sentences; for sure it’s a book that will stay with me forever. 
The world should say „forgive me” to ALL Leonard Peacocks out there: people with terryfying past being a produkt of long-time neglect.
