Started strong but felt underwhelming at the end. I had to keep remembering to put this book into the context of its time (2007), which is a lot longer ago than it feels like. This read a lot more like autobiography than memoir, and felt kind of dry and repetitive after a while. Some illuminating portions for sure, but then other parts read like an academic CV or a cover letter which I found deeply uninteresting and unnecessary. Overall could have been half as long and gotten the same points across.

An eye-opening look into what it’s like to live with schizophrenia. Highly recommend!

This completely changed my understanding of what it's like to live with schizophrenia. This book is amazing.
