Has anyone else read this book?
It was an absolutely difficult read for me, but, so well worth it. I am a different person because of this book.

A fantastic book, VERY well written, VERY hard to read due to content and emotional investment. I also have his two other books about his adolescence and then adulthood.

I read it my freshman year of high school. It was amazing then, and now that I've matured, it's become even more remarkable.

I did read it a few years ago. The series of how he grows into a man is just amazing.

That is such a good book, I litterally cried while reading it.

That was the first book I cried the whole way through.

I read it as a senior in highschool and I cried in class while reading it. It also made me sick to my stomach. I read his other two books as well...truly an amazing story.
