Hi everyone! I’m currently reading A Little Life for the first time ever, I’m currently on page 400, of around that page number. I’ve heard wonderful things about this book, but doing more research, I’ve also read some negative reviews. So, I wasn’t sure where i’d find myself along these lines. The most frequent thing I’ve seen concerning my this book is that it’d make you cry your eyes out. So far, this hasn’t happened yet, except for 5 seconds when I was reading about the passing of Harold’s child. What I think the most while reading this books is how annoying I find Jude to be. It might paint me as a cold-hearted person, but the way he refuses to get help gets to me. If he hates himself so much, but loves people close to him, why wouldn’t he do it for them? Or why wouldn’t he report Caleb just to save other people from his abuse? He’s just constantly hating himself, and instead of feeling sympathy or pity I feel annoyance most of the time. Does it make me a black sheep? What did you think about his character?
