5.0 out of 5 stars Words of Encouragement, July 6, 2004

This review is from: Gibberish: A Bipolar Survival Story (Paperback)

I have to say being the daughter of a Bipolar mother this book put alot in to perspective! It answered questions, and gave me new questions to ask. It was wonderful to read an actual account instead of of the books I have looked through that are all about the medical side and medications. I felt like I was brought into Scott's world. His private thoughts, demons, and wellness. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know what it is like to live with such an uncertain illness!

What an incredibly inspirational read. Never have I picked up a book and not have been able to put it down. I was blown away by the adversity of this man's life struggle. No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would rise again and again to face his next challenge. He would ultimately gain the power and wisdom to endure and above all appreciate and love the miracle of his own blessed life. A mandatory WAKE-UP CALL for teens and adults. Reality is knocking...its time to answer the door!!!
