I like how the topic was handled. It wasn't upsetting to me. Any suicidal person who reads this book would have a rethink, a reason to live and succeed.deaanbeaan wrote: ↑17 Jul 2019, 18:44 Do you agree with how the topic of suicide was handled in this book? Personally, I thought it was fantastic and is a great example of dark humour done right. What do you think?

You are right! I myself have the same opinion about this topic. They way it has been dealt with does not make it to be disturbing for the reader.CambaReviewer wrote: ↑22 Jul 2019, 13:04 I like it when serious matters are handled in such a way that readers do not find it depressing. I liked the way this topic was handled by the author.

The most important part to me is that it wasn't triggering. It's a delicate topic and can lead to some pretty deep, negative feelings for people so that in itself makes me feel that yes it was handled properly.briellejee wrote: ↑19 Jul 2019, 00:32 I don't think it was dark humor, and it didn't come off as one for me. I think it was handled properly, as it wasn't triggering to readers. But to see it as dark humor is something I don't think the book intends. It is natural for a child to think that way. Some adults do think that way as well when they attempt suicide. The author describes that he was more afraid of the waves and how he'd die if he pushes through the attempt, this makes me believe that maybe his attempt wasn't that deep enough into depression to actually take his life. I was about to open a topic about this part.
