Negative Positive
Title: Down the Rabbit Hole
Review: I'll keep it short, because most everything has already been said. The book absolutely dominated my attention for a week or two. The alienated Midwest upbringing, the almost violent rebellions (usually for no real reason)-- it all rang perfectly true. That's the first half of the novel.Then came Dow's person saga: his real-life descent into madness. Via the book, I felt each dip and swerve as Dow Mossman's life unraveled. This is the only chronicle of schizophrenia worth reading that I'm aware of.So why 4-star instead of 5-star on the review? Because I long for some kind of closure -- I wish I could read the book he SET OUT TO WRITE before the voices in his head became too loud to ignore.
Is the review positive or negative?
