I LOVED THIS BOOK!
This book was absolutely brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen a book deal with mental illness so well.

Watched Michael Clayton again last night. Great movie with an unexpected and touching portrayal of mental illness delivered superbly by Tom Wilkinson. Must-see.

Was interviewed by Bloomberg news reporter today concerning high cost of OCD med. I will let you all know if any of my stuff gets included in final piece. He found me through my mental illness blog. I have an orb on here about mental illness as well if any of you want to check it out. Yay! Mental health FTW!!!

Mental illness is no joke and I felt this made a bit of a mockery of it. The concept while interesting was poorly executed and everyone was blamed for her mental illness. It honestly triggered so many of us who do suffer or have dealt with people who suffer. I cant put into words how much was wrong with it.

"Great characters. A hilarious, biting satire of the British justice system. Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce! Miss Flite and her birds! And for illness buffs, there’s smallpox!"

"She touches me like no other poet. Pretty rare that mental illness does help a writer, but for her, it was inseparable from her greatness."
