Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
emotional
informative
fast-paced
3.0
the whole story is told from the perspective of someone incredibly privileged. while she acknowledges this at the end, throughout the book she refers to it as simply being “lucky”, which is putting it mildly. she also talks rather callously about other, obviously worse off patients that she and her parents encountered during her hospital stay. other than this, it’s an interesting, quick read
