Brilliant

The writing is vivid and beautiful. It’s a dark subject; something anyone would rather push out of their mind. Instead I can’t help but imagine and feel the words. For once it felt like watching a movie inside the mind - that’s how descriptive the book was. As to the contents of the book - wish more people would read it and guard ourselves against the very fundamental of freedoms - to just be one’s true self. When that’s destroyed there’s really not much left.
