I don't think I was able to appreciate this book fully. Some of the stories are really compelling, and then end up confusing the f*** out of me. Others were just plain uncomfortable to read. But regardless of those criticisms, I still respected the hell out of the writing. I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would!
