A knock out January 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
.. a real knock out of a book! Unflinching portrayal of author's inner experience of being mentally ill...could not put down

I could not put this book down! What a brave and enlightening story. Thank you, Elyn Saks, for having the courage to share your journey. Your determination is inspiring and I applaud you for helping the world to understand that schizophrenia is a "real illness;" it has nothing to do with 'character flaws' or 'not trying hard enough.' Your support system of friends and colleagues is a testament to the kind and determined person that you are. Please keep fighting for the rights of the mentally ill.
The Center Cannot Hold December 29, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one of those books that can be read only one chapter at a time as you live with the character in her life as a schizophrenic. Elyn Saks tells her own story and finally you learn exactly what a schizophrenic goes through day and night, in and out of hospital stays. This book is a must for any family member of a schizophrenic or anyone in any business that touches the life of a schizophrenic. I thank Elyn for sharing her life story with the world.

This was a excellent book. It gave me a better understanding of mental illness and good look at our doctors and hospitals. I would highly recommend this to consumers, family and friends.
