Helpful Score: 2

This was an intense and moving read. The author's description of his son's problems (which becomes a first person narrative) is honest and not overly self-serving. It was a wonderful reminder of how amazing the human brain is, and how helpless we can be when something goes wrong with it. Even so, the book is not at all a bleak narrative of a life with no hope. I do wish I had heard more about the perspective of this young man's parents, and what they were thinking at the time, but even so, it was a great glimpse into the perspective of someone with mental illness (in this case Tourette's and OCD).
