Hit the spot

Have you ever watched a movie or read a book that you find yourself disturbed at the end - because you can relate to it and the fictional events are realistic? I just finished "A Fine Balance." A fantastic book because the author went in detail and I could relate to bits and pieces of each of the main characters. Nonetheless, it was disturbing, and after polishing it off on Saturday morning, the rest of my day was fucked. Morbidly depressing or inspirational? To top it off, read most of it when going through one of those low mood swings. Not a good anecdote. Anyways, awesome book.
