It was a pretty depressing book as well. When I was reading it I kept expecting something to happen to make it a more interesting story. About 50 pages from the end I figured out that was not going to happen, but still had to find out the end.
Close, but the most depressing movie was “Graveyard of the Fireflies” a Japanese animated film. The only reason more people don’t kill themselves after watching it is because they’re too depressed.
Sheesh, that was the biggest stinker ever. Worse than “Christine” which was a strong recommendation from my BIL. Last time I listened to him!
