This is an amazing story told with incredible honesty and wonderful humor. The story of Andy Behrman, the Electroboy literally changed my life! I have read the book at least five times and I find it just as thrilling as the first each time! I recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the inner workings of the mind, and the astonishing human ability to overcome. As a fellow bipolar sufferer, I could relate to Andy's story on so many levels. I will probably read it several more times! A wonderful read! Impossible to put down and you will find yourself feeling as if you've known Andy all your life!

Shocking!!!
This book was excellent, and shocking as it went into the underground nightclubs. It delves into the bizarre thoughts of someone who suffers from manic depression, with 95% of his episodes being manic. It brings to light the effects of electroconvulsive therapy and its risks. Wonderful, exciting, informative reading.
