A difficult and important subject, handled with humour and kindness. Well researched and carefully thought through, this book is a lot more accessible than it might seem. We talk a lot about mental health these days. It is so refreshing that this doesn't just skirt around the subject but instead takes us right to the heart of an experience that throws up a lot of questions, about our health care system and our view of health and normality in general.

3.5 stars


I felt like I was thrown head first into this book,and wasnt quite sure where I was going.
Soon charmed by Tom though.
This book is funny,but darkly so.
I felt bad at times finding it funny.
On the more serious side,it was a look at mental health issues,and how they effect not just the patient,but those around them.
Interesting stuff.
