This was a fascinating book. Susannah Cahalan was young, driven and intelligent. Suddenly she starts behaving in ways she can't rationalize or understand. Eventually, she becomes someone her family and friends barely recognize. This was a compelling story about a neurological disease that is barely understood still. Susannah was lucky to have recovered as well as she did, others have not. She is a reporter, and she wrote this book largely based on her investigative skills, by interviewing her family and medical teams, and by watching videos of herself during a period she has absolutely no recollection of. I couldn't put this down, it was engrossing.
