a powerful read May 5, 2007

A wonderful book that i will read many times, i laughed and cried and highlighted sentences my way through the book. Having a son that has schizophrenia made it a lesson in understanding mental illness and gave me a grain of hope. An excellent worth while read
Should be on all school reading lists! January 3, 2007

A very moving book, with some witty moments. Written in a very accessible and easy to read style.
It provides an insight into the world of schizophrenia and how terrifying it must be; how bewildering that world is; the effects of the medication on Lori, amongst others, the dreadful weight gain and how this also affects her self-esteem.
I also thought the parts written by her family and friends also touching. How they felt and how they coped, but also you wonder what was not said as was too painful.
I would recommend it to all, not just those who have lived experience or mental health professionals and students, but everybody. It should be compulsory reading for all to help us begin to understand.

I didn't want to finish this book as i enjoyed reading it, it took me on a roller-coaster of feelings, as Lori roller-coastered in her life.
It made me cry as i felt the struggle she had to survive. A revealing account of her inner world.
Wonderful April 29, 2005

This was one of my favorite books of all time. The title did not stick in my mind as well as the details inside. A must read for anyone able to take on a deep depressing story of mental illnesses. MUST READ!
Excellent Read! November 3, 2004

What can I say? This good had me gripped from start to finish! I had it read in 2 days I just couldn't put it down!!It's the story of Lori, who starts off in life being the grade A student, popular with everyone, the apple of her parent's eyes, basically happy with life and everything going for her. Until the voices inside her take over her entire life and consume anything good in it, and leading her into a tortured life on the brink of hell! Lori writes in amazing detail about what exactly was going on inside her head and gives the reader a good understanding of what life was like under the influence of her many schizophrenic episodes. Lori's story really does make me feel so grateful for what I've got in life, and this book outlines just how sacred even the smallest of things are to making life what it is. Such a courageous story!
