The way this book describes depression is really visceral and real, I especially like the phrase "hell for one"

"And when Ferocious Francis G. and the White Flaggers presented him, on the September Sunday that marked his first year sober, with a faultlessly baked and heavily frosted-one candle cake, Don Barely cried in front of nonrelatives for the first time in his life. He now denies that he actually did cry, saying something about candle-fumes in his eye. But he did."
