The book is an interesting concept, writing about people who passed away alone, and using symbolism and analysis to compare your own loneliness to theirs. Finding parts of yourself in someone else's story. Despite the concept, I overall found the book too mundane and melancholy for my personal liking, and the end of each essay that I read, which were three, just felt like the same overall message. Talking about being alone or whatnot. I don't know, just not for me.
