    It's me, I'm the problem. I blew past the content warnings at the beginning and did not expect to actually be struck by them; Christopher captures the visceral reality of his themes in such clarity that I've found it difficult to pick up the book since, and I'm moving on to other reading rather than stopping reading entirely.

    I want to be clear: just because I did not finish this book does not mean this book isn't worthy of being read. A better statement would be that I, personally, am not up to reading it.
