Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness

I've been wanting to read this book since my grandmother passed away from encephalitis years ago. The book is well written, with short chapters so great for a pick up/put down kind of read. Most of the book gives great details into how her illness and seeking answers affects her, her friends and family. Super interesting. The last few chapters about recovery are a little slow and full of a lot of medical jargon that left me struggling to finish it. All in all a very interesting look into the health of the brain.
