Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So by Mark Vonnegut

4.0

Anyone who has struggled with depression, bipolar disease or schizophrenia (first or second hand) will be able to fully appreciate this book. Vonnegut doesn't give any real explanations for what everything means and sometimes the "crazy" is the one writing. Some of the memoirs are just sweet little bits and pieces of his memory of Kurt, and others are profound and had me writing down quotes.

I found myself wanting to share several parts of this book with several people. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who has ever had experience with mental illnesses, substance abuse or suicide. To everyone else, it's an excellent "in" to the mind of a brilliant, but damaged person.
