### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fairly depressing read, yet instructive.
*by T***R on January 27, 2024*

The book is well written. It kept me engaged. Thankfully, there is some type of redemption at the end. The author has an interesting and respectable endpoint, so to speak. I don’t wish to give any details regarding his adult life, the reader should be free to discover them for his/her self. While the book is somewhat compelling, I found it to be an emotionally difficult read. It also struck me that with each advancement in his life, it was wash, rinse, dry, repeat. Over. And over. It’s a dark and unsparing look into certain aspects of the human psyche and soul (if we humans do in fact possess such a thing). The most important adults in his life fail him and his siblings unfailingly. Narcissism runs rampant through these “parent” figures. Certainly there is no end of mental illness. On occasion, an adult steps forward to provide some type of decency and compassion, but these people don’t stick around for long. Add to the narrative all the ways that he and, specifically, his brother act out in order to try and deal with the physical and mental abuse and you end up with a very depressing book. There were definitely some elements that I could relate to, but the viciousness and cruelty from the father and the stepmother were just horrific. The mother was her own special type of effed-upedness. These people were human in physical form only. The stepmother is so evil and wretched, it’s almost too difficult to believe that some artistic license hasn’t been taken in presenting her. Though I am sure that the author is telling the truth and is being as accurate as possible. When one remembers the atrocities of Communist Russia or the macabre, inhuman horror that is mankind that was displayed by those of the Third Reich, it becomes apparent that such evil and nastiness resides in all people. It is, after all, people who think up such horrors and people who carry them out. Having written that, the book also highlights that we can choose. At any point in time, we are choosing. We choose our responses. We choose our actions. We choose to be complicit or to resist. We choose wether we perpetuate and participate in the violence and depravity or we choose to stand up to it and break from it, showing courage, compassion, kindness and love. When choosing the latter course, surprising and inspiring results can unfold. It’s a dark read. I don’t believe in angels and demons, but I do believe they walk amongst us. We have seen them. They belong to this realm. They are us. A representation of the duality of mankind. We all bear the seeds of good and evil within us. Which seeds will we choose to water and nourish?
