( ) This book was a moving and even hopeful depiction of mental illness. It was written from the point of view of the person suffering from the mental illness. So, there are some chapters written from a more or less lucid point of view and some from a delusional point of view. I understood what the author was doing, but it was difficult for me to read the delusional chapters - they were not interesting to follow, and I got bored very quickly. Having said that, I understand that the author was presenting what it might actually feel like to have had this illness, and that presenting that was the part of the point of the book. Toward the end, it began to feel more metaphorical, and it became slightly more interesting. It still didn't hold my attention, and I found myself reading these parts as quickly as I could to get the other parts of the story. Such a brutal read. The story is common enough, but the delicasy, understanding, and Mr Shustermans prose goes so far beyond YA. It's like I want this book to be required reading for high schoolers. I knew several classmates that had their first episode, and saw how their peers viewed them. This book likely can help some empathize with kids dealing with mental illnesses. Anyway. Amazing book. I found this book difficult at times. Ironically, because I was undergoing a time of heightened anxiety that the book made worse before I realized and read other things for a while. But it's moving, and though my mental problems are different, I believe it's accurate. Some of it rang true to my experiences, others just rang true. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
