a book like this was never going to be easy. but it seemed weirdly timely. i wanted to read a piece of fiction on this to try and get me a side step away from all the noise about it in the news and worse the media stirrings of it.
it was an extremely thoughtful telling of it and i appreciated the no sides biased approach. you werent preached to. you were judged or pushed. and the characters had varied roles in which side they lay so i thought this was such a good plot decision.
i also thought it was a smart way to bring the decisions closer to. when one many has his beliefs its all well and good. but what about as the professional would he feel if this was first him having to perform the act or more if it was being talked about with someone in his own family.
i had to take a few moments within this book. and im glad i didnt rush, but equally i kind of did because i couldnt put it down.
a hard book, but for all the right reasons if that makes sense. and it gave me what i needed from it when i initially though it wanted to read such a book.
