He goes into detail about how he feels during the fire and after. He tells about his time in the hospital, how he feels about his suicide and the impact it had on his family. Despite the very seriousness of the subject he adds in some lightness and joking which makes it a very interesting read. There is some profanity and sexual talk. ( ) NWADEL | Sep 3, 2009 | Maybe this was written for teens and, that, I am not. The first part of the book was interesting enough and held some promise, but his lack of introspection and insight left me disappointed. There were a few good parts to the book, like when he was describing his recovery and his apprehension about his appearance. But, I was expecting much more from this book. I would not recommend it to anyone. Jamily5 | Aug 20, 2009 | This book is an absolutely devestating, and in the end viscerally refreshing, anatomy of a suicide. The author writes with so much honestly and openness, with a level of clarity and bravery that few people acheive. For me, it answered the question "What were they thinking?"
