Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

emotional hopeful informative tense medium-paced

3.5

It is sometimes so scary being a person and having a body in general - nevermind when your body and mind are working against you. I think that the author did a great job telling her story, I could really feel how frightened and trapped she felt in the hospital - and in her body. I had a hard time relating to her as a person, but that wasn't the point. Really interesting and important, though I'd be curious to know what research has been done since this was published.
