Creepy as all hell. Brilliant. ( )

Ok William Golding books are über depressing. I didn't know at the time that I bought this book, that William Golding was the author of 'Lord of the Flies' (I missed it on the back of the book because well I only read the synopsis not the brief authors bio) if I had I probably would have put it back. Its not that hes a bad author or that his stories are bad, but wow they make me frown at the book as I read them. So as far as the actual story, I don't really know what to make of it. I wouldn't say I liked the book so much as it made me stop and think. I guess my over all impression is that wow some things are really fucked up and people can be blamed and horribly affected by things that aren't their fault D: ( )

fascinating first-hand account of the author's experience with deep depression and his self-cure.

A dark, weird book. Never finished it. ( )
