dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I picked this book up thinking it would only be about the family’s experience of schizophrenia and the influences to research. Realistically, it ended up feeling more like a book about family trauma. I wish there had been more influence from the brothers in the book who had schizophrenia, but the main sources were the sisters who did not have schizophrenia. The chapters about the research and pharmaceutical companies were some of the best chapters in the book.

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

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.
