I listened to the audiobook. Because I also come from a rural area, the talented narrator's accent and the subject matter seemed a little too close to home. I never suffered the same way as the protagonist, but imagining him being a classmate is easy. The subject matter is gritty and I wanted to stop a few times, but I'm glad I persevered. This book will stay with me for a long time.
