I finished this book last night and could not come and sit down to write the review, I was just not emotionally ready to say anything. Well, today I wish with everything inside of me, that I was someone who could translate raw emotion and all that stuff into words. This book profoundly shocked and made me so sad. The realisation that not everyone out there have it easy and that life is sometimes filled with immense pain. That no matter what you do, if you are one of those people whose path is similar to the characters in this book, a time will come where Nothing's Schocking! This is not a feel good book, this is a book that makes you think and empathise with other humans and their path that they have to walk, even if they do not want to walk it! It is a book that makes you appreciate what you have and breaks your heart! Read it and expect to be shocked! Also, expect to mull over this for a few days after you have read it! Sometimes in life, it is important to widen your horison and see past all the frivolous things that make up most of our lives. A brilliant read!!!
