I still remember the day I received it. Excitedly I ripped open the package and began reading. Around halfway through I started to lose interest and was a little baffled as to why it was so popular. A friend of mine who is about twenty years older told me that its popularity comes from the elder crowd. At the time that it was published it was a very raw book. In the western world, Christianity and morals were very high so talking about some of the matter in the book was frowned upon. It was a guilty pleasure to read it is the way he explained it.
