Negative Positive
Title: Dissapointing
Review: I picked this book up the other week and was quite looking forward to reading it as it sounded like a great memoir.My advice is this; if you're going to read this book be prepared for a very long (nearly 500 pages) rather dull and quite repetitive read. It seemed as though 80% of the book consisted of descriptions of Reiland's angry, out of control screaming matches with her patient-as-a-saint psychiatrist. I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again and it becomes rather boring.I have to say that the only thing that kept me reading is my interest in the process of Reiland's recovery from BPD and my hope that I would read of some sort of major transformation. However, overall I just found the book rather shallow, and although it IS indeed a memoir, I was continually irritated by Reiland's overwhelming sense of narcissism and self-absortion. Definitley not recommended.
