Title: Mildly informative extrordinarily pretentious
Product review: Having recently read many text, autobiographical, and various memoirs on psychiatric illness; I found Dr. Jamison's "The Unquiet Mind", to be more pretentious than anything I have ever read. It was difficult to empathize or identify with her, due to the constant and obviously purposeful references to the fact that she is more intelligent, more cultured, more creative, and more capable than most human beings.Every other sentence in the book makes a point that you must realize, she listens and appreciates classical music,fine art, gourmet foods and knows all literature and poetry of any consequence.She never actually details any real episodes in her life, nor does she describe any relationship of any value with another human being (exception her mother) that does not have a doctoral degree.How anyone could label this memoir an actual "memoir" in my mind is ludicrous. It is a self-indulgent, self-important rambling of "big words" that say nothing.
