Title: Boring and irrelevant
Product review: I had to read this book for my graduate psychopathology class. The book was supposed to provide experential content about bipolar disorder. Well, this book is mainly composed of trivial events like dinner parties or visits to England, rather than a description of bipolar disorder. Whenever bipolar disorder (or manic-depression, as the author calls it) is discussed, it's in vapid, over-the-top poetic terms, like "it was a wave of bleak foul despairing madness, an eruption of manic volcanic fury". The author uses four adjectives where one or even none would suffice, making me groan with every paragraph. I have never read a book before that said so much and yet said so little. Don't read it unless you have to, and if you have to, here's a tip: the first 3/4 of the book are totally unimportant.
