knaglieri 's review for:
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
by Susannah Cahalan
This was a fascinating read. Well written and detailed without being overlong, the author did a great job capturing her decent into a madness that her doctors had a hard time explaining. It was scary to see how easily she could've been lost... it was only finding the right doctor armed with the right information that finally led to a real diagnosis and chance to get better. I found all the tests and medical information really interesting, even though I hadn't expected the book to be so clinical. Worth the read/listen. I listened on Audible and thought the narrator did a great job, especially having to say "anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis" so many times.
