This book is quite relevant because suicide rates keep rising. Thanks for a detailed review.

I don't really like tragic stories because I don't feel good after reading it. I don't know if I should give this book a try. Thanks for the well written review.

I understand. Unfortunately, it happens all too often.

It's something which cannot be understood. Someone looks so happy and in good health, what happened all of a sudden. I would like to read this book.
Thank you for an intriguing review!

You're right. In some ways, it cannot be understood. It should be discussed though. Thanks.

This sounds like quite an emotional read.... Thank you for the review. I don't think I would be able to pick this book up. It is an important topic, but I don't think I would want to read about it.

I quite understand. It's important, but it's not something everyone can read about. Thanks for stopping by.

Unfortunately, the book is true. This is a dad trying to reconcile the fact that his son committed suicide. Thanks for commenting.

The author has done it courageous and honest to share his lowest moments in his life. I hope its flaws are fixed soon to attract its audience potential. Thanks for a detailed and thorough review.
