Okay so I needed some time to think about this novel and here is why I liked it so much:

-It scared me in a way I didn't think was possible. I can't even begin to imagine what I would do if I was in Susannah's shoes. To be perfectly normal and then completely lose your mind is not something that is easy to deal with.
-I loved her narrative of her experience and how it started small but then turned into this entirely bizarre experience. It literally made my skin crawl.
-The technical side of this book was amazing. I mean I was absolutely drawn to all the psychological and medical terms that she used. I heard of some of them before, but this book definitely pushed me to do research of my own.
-I loved the fact that she made us question the medical field in the sense that a lot of doctors are overworked and don't have the time to give each patient thorough examinations. It illustrates how so many diseases go unnoticed or become misdiagnosed.
-I loved hearing about her recovery as much as I loved reading about the initial onset of the disease. It amazed me that her brain went through so much but was some how able to repair itself.

If you guys are definitely looking for a non-fiction book based in psychology I would definitely check this one out.
