Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

3.0

This was such a crazy story that I had never heard of. It was so sad and honestly kind of scary, considering I am the same age the author was when she started going mad. I learned a lot from this book, and I enjoyed reading the author's story. I did think it was a little long, and there were a LOT of medical terms. I found myself zoning out sometimes when she started talking about the medical side of things, but if you like autobiographies or medical stories, you would very much enjoy this one. I haven't seen the movie, but I imagine it does a great job of telling this crazy story.
