It does not fully describe the injuries, or the happenings full through, but a lot of times while you're reading, you just imagine the stuff as a reader, you know? However, the author has done a very good job in understanding how much of graphics they want to give, keeping a thin line between disturbing and touching. Also, I personally do not think I would have been so attached to the main character if there was not some graphic content about all that he went through. In conclusion, there should be a warning for people who are too sensitive towards self-harm, injuries, and blood.(less)
