Yet another

Ok so i read this great book called the burn journals, by Brent Runyon. The thing that amazed me about this book was that i read it, and was kinda sad, but i told myself, its only fiction. but then, i read it more carefully, and realized this is non-fiction. the guy acually did this. ok, story synopsis:
Brent Runyon was fourteen years old when he set himself on fire.
In The Burn Jounals, Runyon describes that devastating suicide attempt and his recovery, both physical and psychological, over the following year. He shares his story wth such unflinching honesty that we understand--with a terrible clarity--what it means to want to kill yourself and how it feels to struggle back to normality.
Intense, exposed, insightful, The Burn Journals is a deeply personal story with universal reach. It is impossible to look away. Impossible not to remain unmoved.
So, this book is kinda depressing, and yet, at points, incredibly uplifting. its very gripping. check it out if you want, but don't read part and then put it down. you have to finish it.
