This book was very interesting and heartbreaking at the same time. The prose was written to feel almost like a fictional story.

3.75

Such an intense and informative read— I entered with limited knowledge about schizophrenia and left with a much deeper and comprehensive understanding of the medical history and personal experiences of those affected by schizophrenia. The alternating chapters between individual stories/journals/interviews and scientific context made was compelling. Th research was very thorough and well done— it was clear it was written by a reporter.
