Re: So have you heard about...

[kaijinscendre]

Hey, hey. It gets a bit better in the sequel. You know...sort of... I am not sure why you can't deal with it, but if it is because of how dark it is, I don't even consider The Chocolate War to be his most depressing book!

And I have not, but I bookmarked it and will give it a look this weekend. :D

There was a time when I read a lot of Cormier, and in retrospect, I have no idea why. I liked Eight Plus One because it seemed to be depressing with a purpose, and We All Fall Down at least had some good ideas, but most of his other stuff seemed mean-spirited (After the First Death) or nihilistic in a really bland and simplistic way (The Chocolate War.) It's telling that one of his most idealistic stories, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, is about terminal patients dying one by one.

After The First Death as actually the first book I read by him. Though my favorite is probably The Rag And Bone Shop.

It's not, I know! I just read it when I was too young to get what was going on, so just ended up feeling greasy and unpleasant for a whole day. I should probably read it again now that I'm grown, to see what it was I hated so much.
