The imagery of the sewer system flushing the perceived worthlessness of life is a heartbreaking one. I'm a third of the way through the book. It's hard to read but entirely necessary.111 of 114 people found the following review helpful. Be SURE to get the hardcover version because the paperback does not include the author's notesBy RdgJr near NYCThe hardcover version includes; at the bottom of many pages; the author's notes. These notes should be considered an essential part of the book. They are interesting and designed to enhance and embellish the text. Do not purchase the paperback version; because it does not include those essential notes by the author.Obviously; this book (in hardcover form with the notes) is essential reading-- everyone who is able should invest the time to absorb this important; very moving; stereotype-shattering; great/classic work of non-fiction. According to Wikipedia; since 2009 this book (in Russian) has been required reading by Russian high school students (in Russia).2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. FantasticBy Zulfikar Yousafzai ReeseFantastic book! Defiantly worth buying all three volumes instead of an abridged version.
