Truthfully, I do not see reviews as simply, 'bad or good.' Luckily I have not really had many, what I shall refer to as, disheartening reviews with this book. Only one comes to mind and I believed it was from a mindset of the reader not understanding fully what I was trying to accomplish with that particular book. The subject matter is a brutal topic when it comes right down to it. It really is something a person needs to live to fully understand and not something I would ever wish for anyone...
