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.

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.
