You will devour this book, because it is so good and enthralling. Elyn Saks is an amazing woman with an amazing story! I have shared this book with many family and friends and we all love it. Not only is this book completely accessible to people who don't know anything about mental illness, it is also a source of hope for people who have mental illness, and schizophrenia in particular. The parallels between my life as someone who also has schizophrenia and Ms. Saks' life are quite interesting. I found that her story rings very true even though her story is somewhat different than my own. I am so glad that she wrote this book. You will never think of another schizophrenic person the same way again after you have read this book. Buy it and read it! You won't be sorry!
