Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fascinating real-life story... it could happen to anyone
An amazing glimpse into a frightening experience by a woman who "lost it" and could very well have spent the rest of her life on a psych ward, if it wasn't for the brilliant doctor who figured it out. Could you imagine having no memory of a month? This journalist pieced together what happened to her, and takes you along for the ride. Compelling story, well written, and so adeptly narrated that I forgot that the author and narrator weren't the same person.
