When I first started reading this book I didn’t know what to expect and I was initially disappointed. The first essay takes a very depressing view of life and appears to view everything through a fatalistic lens, with virtually no optimism. I wondered how on Earth I was going to finish the rest of the book.

However, subsequent essays were a much more pleasant read and the tone and mood picked up, although there is a somewhat downbeat undertone overall. The book is very beautifully written yet easy to read and understand. If you enjoy books of essays that make you think and enable you to see the world from a different perspective to your own, I would recommend this book.
