A review by jolynne
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

5.0

Throughout most of the story I kept wondering, are men really that incredibly evil? In the span of one boy’s life how could he not have come across one decent man? I questioned the reality of this story so often but isn’t that what good fiction is? Good fiction makes you question the fiction as if it were in fact a reality.

Beautiful writing, disturbing, intense and heartbreaking storyline. I gave this 5 stars but did not mark it as a favorite because it just hurt too much.
