I loved it. This was the first book that touched and influenced me personally. I really could identify myself with Sutter. Not in the whole, but with many of his problems and thoughts. I could find something for myself in so many dialogues, it helped me to realize to be more open and confident.

I liked it, but I hated the ending.
I kept waiting for him to change.
