This book-long expression of anguish and pain speaks for anyone who has suffered from an ill-defined and hard to treat medical condition. The art becomes raw and splotchy to show the increasing frustration and despair of the creator.

But while I can recognize and appreciate the intent of this work and the technical aspects of it, I found myself detached. I can be a cold fish, and this book just didn't have the hard-to-define jolt I needed to trigger my empathy and connection to the material. ( )
