So this book was really interesting. I do not normally read things like this and I'm not sure what prompted me to pick it up, but I'm glad I did. It's so crazy that this was a real life situation, proving sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. I was impressed with how easy it was to read and follow everything that happened, medically and scientifically, and I give the author credit for that. I also recognize her skill is giving that information but still maintaining interest and flow with the surrounding story. And finally I was super interested that her disease can explain things like what happened in The Exorcist and even may be what some misdiagnosed kids with autism actually have. The implications for how widespread this disease might actually be are really quite intense. I do have to critique some of the writing though. You can definitely tell the author is in journalism because many of the things you get in novels, like the dialogue and pacing, were lacking. I found much of the dialogue stilted and some parts were strangely worded. However, on the whole, very impressive. And so crazy that the author lived through something so intense and traumatic. Congratulations on your recovery.
