Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker

emotional informative medium-paced

4.75

When I picked this book up, I had no clue how compelling it would be. I absolutely couldn't put it down and didn't want to. I read it in less than 24 hours. This is one of those books that's almost too much to be true. Yet it's all entirely true. Six out of ten boys in one family developed schizophrenia, all without there really being a family history of it before them. It's a sad story, but it also shows how times have changed and theories about schizophrenia have morphed over the years. It's an incredibly good book that's woven so well by the author.
