An overly simplified depiction of depression and suicidal attempt that lacks the necessary depth.

The many talents and potential of the main character did not seem believable either, and I reckon it took away quite some depth, rawness and complexity that severly depressed people with an 'average' life path otherwise typically experience. 

I think Haig's writing is just not for me either, I didn't like the way he writes for the most part of this book.


Overall, the whole story fell a bit flat for me and was not substantial and complex enough to have an emotional impact on me.
