Personal Verdict
Confess has two things that make it more special and different from other books; first, the confessions that were featured by real people out there made the book more personal and if possible it made the characters more human. Second the art, we were given an insight into his mind of Owen through his art and what an amazing art it was. the way Owen connected his art to the confessions is just absolutely mind-boggling. There is just so much depth in these characters and so much pain in their stories that all I wanted to do was take my sweet time reading it, prolonging it as much as possible just so that those feelings linger a little longer.
Quotes
“Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they'll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel.”
“How can a fifteen-year-old girl defend her love when that love is dismissed by everyone? It’s impossible to defend yourself against inexperience and age. And maybe they’re right. Maybe we don’t know love like an adult knows love, but we sure as hell feel it.”
“Every day of my life it feels as if I'm fighting my way up an escalator that only goes down. And no matter how fast or how hard I run to try to reach the top, I stay in the same place, sprinting, getting nowhere.”
“You drink to escape the emotional pain you’re in, and then the next day you do it all over again to get rid of the physical pain. So you drink more and your drink more often and pretty soon you’re drunk all the time and it becomes just as bad, if not worse, than the reality you were attempting to escape from in the first place. Only now, you need an escape from the escape, so you find something even stronger than the alcohol. And maybe that’s what turns alcoholics into addicts.”
Bottom Line
Confess is a book that is unputdownable and is a mix of all so I would recommend reading it.
My ratings for the movie are 4 on 5.
