challenging dark

I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up the GM cycle, but I’m hooked. Cooper is amazing at confronting us & getting to the darkest spots of the human psyche

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

Can’t really give a rating to such a personal, well-written story. Caveney has clearly mastered the art of the memoir. Explores so much in such a succinct book.
