I read this novel years ago when I was in fourth grade. While I don't remember much about it, I do remember that it was depressing and did not end the way I wanted it to. However, it was still an amazing novel.

So, I've been writing poetry (it's not professional or anything) and I want to know if you'd like me to share it with you. It's slightly depressing, and a bit rebellious at the same time. If you want some, just answer the question.

My biggest disappointment of this Oscar season. There was so much needless violence - mindless violence that had nothing to do with the murder and it was just commonplace and accepted. It was depressing and highlighted so much that I despise. I just hated it.

2016 | Drama, History, War

"The last movie she saw that made her cry was Hacksaw Ridge, a pretty emotional movie about a soldier in World War II. She revealed that she feels the most creative when she is sad, which explains why she might gravitate toward "depressing things.""

The villain's plan is laughably stupid
The tone is dour and depressing, feels nothing like TNG
Constant continuity errors with the show
A piss poor send off for the TNG crew. They deserved much better than this.
Wastes the Romulans in their first major role in a movie
Just awful
The worst TNG movie by leaps and bounds. Nemesis is just awful to watch. It's dour and depressing for no reason and the plot is consistently stupid. It's just unpleasant, no joy to be found at all.

Awesome on Audiobook
The Girl on the Train on audio book with the 3 different voice actors was sensational. The main character is very depressing but it works really well for the story. It's like the ultimate girl drama that ends in murder. Intense.

The dialogue sounded really unnatural - at times like a couple of five year old talking! Not a lot really happened in terms of the plot, I found it profoundly depressing and am struggling to see what the book is trying to say and why it's considered a classic.

Horrible.

Never read this. It's so sad, dark, and depressing. What a horrible ending. If you want to know about cults, go watch the Kool-Aid Cult documentary - This book is just a knock-off of that. It's labelled as "dystopian" but it's definitely not, it's just freaky.
  
I won't lie, Kim practically ripped my heart out with this one. But, in all honesty, it was kind of a struggle to keep interest through the first half. When it starts to get good, it suddenly gets depressing, but the masochist within myself was unable to stop reading.
