challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.25

Interesting points raised on mental health, reality, psychosis and everything in between. A compelling critique of psychiatric procedures, stigma as well as overall system. Personally, I feel like the text lacks a cohesive story to tie it together and turn it into a concrete novel. However, the book is not a work of fiction, but rather an assembly of memoir fragments and should be read and appreciated as such. A brave statement of personal experience and though-provoking meditation on freedom and individualism.
