Holy shit. Phenomenal book. I have never been so intrigued and put-off by a book. This is one of those books that you read and think "why isn't this a required reading?". The concept and execution were perfect, and this book led to some very important discussions. I got so immersed in it that I had to remind myself to take breaks and to separate myself from the world. There was one part in particular that felt so real that I got very physically upset while reading it. Amazing book leading to necessary conversation.
