Insight into Bipolar thinking June 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Being the mother of a daughter who has bipolar disorder, I found this book to be very helpful in my quest for understanding of this very serious illness. It is written in first person narrative and is very intense. I wonder what will happen next each time I read a chapter.
 A must read for those who struggle w/bipolar or know someone who does May 30, 2008

Marya has a way with words to help put a sound and picture to bipolar, aka madness. If you are bipolar or even know someone who has bipolar this is a must read. I feel it will help give those who have this horrible disease hope. And for the loved ones of those suffering, it will help make sence of some confusing behaviors.

 OK, but rambling and mundane for much of the book May 27, 2008

This book was OK. I had to read about 2/3 of the book before it got interesting. The first 1/2 was nothing but maniacal and wordy descriptions of her episodes. It got a little mundane and rambling. I felt very sorry for those around her - their journey sounded exhausting and would make for a more interesting read. Not terrible, but don't pay the hardcover price. Wait for paperback or even the library.

A vivid description of the terrors and difficulties of being bi-polar. Reading this book would encourage anyone who is bi-polar to get treatment and continue with medications and therapy to avoid the agonies of the author.
