Just finished reading this book. This is probably one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone.

It truly is a thought provoking novel and makes you self-evaluate yourself on many levels. The ending was probably one of the most depressing things I have ever read. I was just curious if anyone else has read it. Thoughts?
