4.8 really good book it's crazy what our brains can do and it was really interesting how she pieced together what she didn't have memory of
Very fascinating to read! This book was a reminder to me about how much known there is with medical diagnosis.

Susannah Cahalan's story is fascinating and terrifying, and I loved learning about it. It's clear she's done a lot of research, as far as is possible for such a rare and little-understood condition, and the narration of her initial rapid descent is chilling in its detail.
However, this part of the book ends quite quickly and the rest feels overlong and tedious. I know I will seem heartless, but I really didn't need every detail from her period of recovery. It's kinda dull, and some of the detail feels completely superfluous and repetitive. I trudged through the final third in twice the time the first two took me.
Overall, this was compelling enough. And I'm possibly just a bitch.
