Keep a box of tissues handy. It's emotional stuff! Man you were absolutely right about it being emotional. Read all of it yesterday and the ending had me in tears, which has never happened to me before when reading a comic. I could relate so damn much with Barbara and the problem that she faces and the way she deals with it. I also experienced something like what happened to Barbara last year, and i totally understand the fear of facing death and trying to escape from it in some way but eventually standing up and facing it, and finding out we are much stronger than we think we are.So needless to say this hit me HARD!
I can now say that its definitely one of the best books i have ever read, and Barbara is now one of my favourite characters of all time(i mean come on, she loves Johnny Cash!!!) Loved the discussion of this book on the book club and i pretty much feel the same way about it that you guys did. Thanks for recommending it to me guys, and keep up the good work!
