Disturbing, in that there are activities, actions, and events in this world that we like to partition into corners of our minds.We know there are events occurring every moment in our world that would make us fall down and just reach for sweet oblivion if we really acknowledged them. This is how this book is disturbing. Much like comedy that makes you laugh because if you don't laugh you would have to really confront an issue, this book is disturbing because it puts you in a situation that as much as i don't want to believe happens, I know deep down that not only can it, but it does.I know I am a bit vague here, it is a short story and i don't want to ruin it for anyone, but it is written so well I found myself wanting to yell at the book as if I were watching a horror movie.The horror of this book is it is too easy to imagine the events actually happening. Somehow in very few pages the main character comes to vibrant life and even though you can predict that something bad will happen, you hope against hope that you are wrong and that a "fairy tale" ending will swoop in at the last moment and make this a happy story!Bravo, to the author. I was disturbed on so many levels.I don't recommend reading this if you are currently disgusted with humanity. I do recommend it as a must read for anyone who thinks life is just perfect and there is nothing wrong with our society, or someone who just likes to be a little introspective and doesn't mind receiving more reasons to believe their life isn't as bad as they think it is.
