so-soI have no strong feelings about this book one way or the other. It was just okay. I did love all of the literary references. The movie comes recommended by @loveroflit, so that is up next.

megnews Haven‘t read the book but the movie was good and accurate to my experiences with a loved one with bipolar. 6y
howlinglibraries Like @megnews, I haven‘t read the book but have family members with bipolar and the representation felt fair to me, and I thought the movie overall was worth seeing! 6y
sammisho @megnews I don't remember them ever specifying a diagnosis in the book. I kept waiting for them to say it. Was it bipolar? I am a social worker and many of his behaviors reminded me of clients with Traumatic Brain Injuries. 6y

megnews I‘m 99% sure they did. Or I inferred based on my experiences. I‘m going to have to see if it‘s still on Netflix and rewatch. 6y
KellyHunsakerReads This is one where I liked the movie better than the book! 6y
KellyHunsakerReads In the movie it is BiPolar. I don‘t remember if the book specified. 6y
sammisho @Hunsakermountain I will definitely be checking out the movie. I feel like I would have remembered if they specified in the book, especially given my background and I was watching for it! 6y
LoverofLit This is on my TBR but I loved the movie so much. Let me know what you think when you watch it. All the love for BCoop and JLaw! ❤❤❤ 6y
sammisho @LoverofLit I love those two also! I kind of wished I just watched the movie and skipped the book, which is blasphemy, I know. 6y
