The World I Fell Out Of by Melanie Reid

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is a poignant and funny memoir and the audiobook was great. I really enjoyed her personal style of writing. She approaches her story and situation with black humour which came through really well in her narration. The details of her time in hospital and her descriptions of the other patients and staff are vivid and often funny, while at other times her writing is emotional and bitter. There's also some interesting discussion about how society views people with disabilities and the "moral duty to recover".
