I loved this book.  I loved his honesty and vivid descriptions of becoming a patient in an arena that he used to command.  Heartbreaking and devastating but beautiful too. What a loss.

My favorite part was the description of his small rural high school in Arizona (drop out rate of 30%) and how his mom influenced the whole school.  When his close friend was told by the guidance counselor to join the army, he said F that and got into Yale.

Highly recommended.
