It is a fine book, but it has a copyright date of 1986 and it looks like it's from even earlier. I would like an updated version of this book. Also, it falls into the basic "Introduction to someone who is disabled" category, which isn't a bad thing, but it might be nicer to demonstrate the same messages being sent through this story implicitly rather than explicitly.

I appreciated the humor in this memoir. I was entertained and laughed out loud. I did not walk away feeling I learned very much or gained much from reading this book, other than to appreciate Diana Joseph's bravery. At times I shuttered because she was able to articulate her feelings, some of which would scare me even in my own head, in a painfully honest way.

Very disappointing. Very shallow and simplistic. Fairly early in the book I reached the statement that the author's morning coffee habit and an addiction to heroin are basically the same thing, just different in a matter of degree. If I had the book from the library I would have given up at that point, but having paid for the book I soldiered on, unfortunately, hoping for something better to turn up. No such luck. The book ends with a ridiculous speculation about why the Neanderthals went extinct 30,000 years ago. My general rule is if I do finish a book it gets 2 stars. I am making an exception in this case.
