You finally finished it? How was it?

I was very impressed by this book.
I didn't know he had serious agony in his childhood. I guess it was a very hard time.

自然な表現

I was very impressed by this book.
I didn't know he had serious agony in his childhood. I guess it was a very hard time.

Another expression: This book really impressed me.
I am glad you enjoyed it. What problems did he have in his childhood? Did he manage to overcome those problems?

He was heavily bullied by his classmates.
Of course, he managed to overcome it, but he failed to do so. On the contrary, he learned to endure hard times.

自然な表現

He was heavily bullied by his classmates.
Of course, he managed to overcome it, but he didn't get over it. On the contrary, he learned to endure hard times.

1. This was rephrased since this statement is contradictory. You are saying 'he overcame the problem, but he didn't overcome the problem', both can't be true. 'didn't get over it' means it left a mark on him.
Being bullied by classmates can be traumatic and affect one's confidence and self-belief. Is enduring the abuse the best response, in your view?

From my perspective, it's one of the best ways to live on. There's a time when we can do nothing.
