I really wanted to like this, given the topic and the author. But for me, this just wasn't it. 
emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad slow-paced

The topic of the book is great but my god the writing is absolutely horrendous. There are enough named individuals to be akin to a Yellow Pages and the pacing is like wading through frozen treacle. It's such a shame as this topic needed some light and it did it so badly.
