Any additional comments?

I'm not one to shy away from a tragic story.....but there has to be at least some humor, joy or other emotion other than sorrow or I can't take it. I felt so depressed and heart sick the entire book. I do not enjoy having a book bring my emotions so low it;s hard to enter back into my daily life without feeling blue.
