Customer Reviews

Very informative, but might be a hard read for some.

Wordy and at times dificult to read, yet it had a very large amount of information for what seemed like such a small book. The author presents several different theories for each subject he discusses, instead of presenting one as the gospel truth, which I liked a lot. While you probably won't find this a fun or easy read, it's really detailed and informative for anyone who wants to know more about Schizophrenia.
