Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So

Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So (2010) by Mark Vonnegut. Vonnegut, the son of the famous writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr., suffers from schizophrenia. He's had four breakdowns, each of which has required hospitalization. Yet in spite of his disease, he managed to get accepted to Harvard Medical School, attend all his classes and become a practicing pediatrician. He also wrote a book, "The Eden Express," about his struggles with mental illness. "Just Like Someone" is a somewhat more light-hearted book covering similar ground, and updating his experiences. It's a good read, although it tends to wander at times off into regions of nebulosity. For those with mental illness, or their loved ones, it's highly recommended. Grade: A-
