I love how the different stories come together and get intertwined throughout the book. 
The reading experience was great and the plot gave me a lot to think about.

Nonetheless, the past is part of your present consciousness - it forms the spectacles through which you experience the present.

Ernest felt encouraged. It was interesting for him to experience that strange paradox of therapy and supervision: the more unlawful, shameful, dark, ugly stuff you revealed, the more you were rewarded!
