The amount of easily verifiable mistakes made me doubt and question everything I read. Not the best way to keep a reader interested.

I kept repeating to myself while reading it - I don't even like poetry! I generally don't understand it and I see nothing great about it. But this thing... It really got to me. Incredibly powerful images, full of raw emotion and incredible depth. I fell in love with it.

Czytało się trochę ciężko, styl wypowiedzi autora jednak nasiąknięty przygotowaniem do wygładzania kazań. Ale jednak bardzo ciekawa pozycja pod względem zawartości, otwiera oczy na pewne sprawy. Trochę jak kronika - styl może przeszkadzać, ale to treść się liczy.

Muszę zajrzeć do oryginału, może wtedy będzie pięć gwiazdek?

Nie czytać przy ludziach, szczególnie drugiej połowy. Grozi potajemnym ocieraniem oczu w autobusie do pracy o 7 rano.

Zagmatwana i nieprzyjemna, to chyba pierwsze moje skojarzenia z tą książką. Doceniam odwagę autora pisania o trudnym, osobistym temacie, ale ciężko mi powiedzieć coś pozytywnego o tym, co przeczytałam.

Totally confusing.

I enjoyed it a lot until it became a crime novel. The switch in the middle wasn't an improvement for me, the story was still engaging but it wasn't the kind of story I wanted to follow anymore.

I can't say I enjoyed reading it, because it's not a book to be enjoyed. I'm not entirely sure what I think about it. A+ for effort, that's for sure, but it did at times read like teary novel rather than Cumming's personal account. Too eloquent and polished, perhaps, for my taste.

The amount of information was overwhelming at times, but overall it's a great compedium of the topic and I'm sure I will be coming back to it for specific bits and pieces.

I kept comparing it to the film adaptation and strangely, I think I liked the adaptation better. It felt more emotional. And that's sort of the point of the story, to show human emotions of the characters, isn't it?
