A review by ljrinaldi
Notes from a Sickbed by Tessa Brunton

3.0

Memoirs are great things, but the problem is if you follow every little thing you did, they can get tedious. In this case, Tessa, who Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, explains how her days go, and what work she can get done. And most of the time we see her ignore her illness and try to do realistic things, that she finds just aggravates the illness.

The second part goes over how she is imaging a graphic novel she wants to write, and she realizes she needs to go to Disneyland in order to get the feel for where the story takes place. This has plot and intent, and build, and was much more interesting than the first half of the book.

If you want to read about how much she suffered, then this might be an interesting book to read. I found that I only really enjoyed reading the second half.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
