It really is amazing how different people are. Most people think our differences come from our opinions, but it is so much more. This book allows us to see through the eyes of someone that has OCD and tries to help himself. James, had a severe OCD, he also experience some quite stressful events in his life, this turns him into a total weirdo. The book starts with his admittance to a stay-in clinic for helping people with OCD. From the moment he gets out of the cab his treatment starts and it has nothing to do with the heart-felt talk we see on movies. He is really honest in his book but not in life. While the topic is serious he makes us laugh at the ridiculous he gets himself into because of his OCD (like almost electrocuting himself, by washing the electric cables in his car with water and soap). Anyway it is a funny and honest reading and I think everyone that is not to familiar with mental illness should read this book. Don't worry - it is a funny and easy read. You have no idea what is happening into James' mind.… (meer)
