Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-21 00:00:00 Ricardo Quinoes at first, i loved this book. it was eloquent, poetic, and incredibly relatable to my life. the figurative language was nothing short of incredible; Lauren has a beautiful relationship with the english language. Also, as someone who has experienced a story terribly similar to Lauren's, the subject matter was intensely personal and valuable to me. sadly, though, it reached a point where none of these things were enough to save it. there's only so much you can write about Prozac before it becomes repetitive and bland. I definitely reached a point where I was completely bored of the book, despite the language or the topic. It was rambling and insubstantial, and i finished the book feeling very dissatisfied. overall, it wasn't a bad book, by any means- when looked at as a volume of poetry instead of a memoir, it's lovely- but didn't quite live up to my standards.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-30 00:00:00 Josh Pritch I think this book was probably more interesting 12 years ago. I am a pharmacological refugee and on a personal level find tales like Slater's interesting, but I can also tell you that unless you have tinkered with the chemicals in your brain, unless you have walked down this road, this mild, ethereal and at times random memoir may not have any resonance. As interested as I am in memoirs of people who struggle with mental illness and the drugs used to treat mental illness, there were times I found this book less than gripping.
