The Heartland: Finding and Losing Schizophrenia by Nathan Filer

3.0

Good but flawed. The parts where the author interviews people were hugely interesting and I would have loved a book full of them. There were two things that dragged this down, unfortunately:

1) the tone was unnecessarily informal. The jokes about Ant and Dec just seemed pointless and made it seem like the author wasn’t taking his job seriously.

2) the analysis of the interviews got quite tedious towards the end and increasingly disconnected from the interviews. More human experiences would have been more affecting.
