"I finished reading the book last night at
03:12 AM. I could not let go of it. I could not close my laptop.
I went out to meet some friends but hurried back. This time it's
a winner: taut, tense prose; a plot as captivating as any
thriller's; a real-life story that reads like a nightmare and
that ends in personal redemption. Couched in a lean and muscular
text, all the important themes are here: self-discovery, one
against the many, iconoclastic rebel faces down the system,
justice for all, mental illness as a mechanism for social
coercion. What a ride! What a treat! Brilliant. Sam Vaknin
