The doctor should have written the book about Susannah's case. I do not even know how people with such limited writing skills get jobs at the Post (she was a shitty writer before her brain caught fire.). I read it only because of my neurological diagnosis and my general interest in memoir structure. I wasted my time with the first 48 chapters or so. The last two told me more about the link between mental illness and neurological problems. I only gave it the second star because she showed me what not to do as a writer. There is a big difference between a journalist and a poet or novelist so there's your second star. Also, I concur with her on the outstanding doctors at NYU. That is where I see all my doctors and I'm always pleased if not impressed at their overall capacity for excellent care and efficacy.
