Easily the best book I've read this summer. Super easy read and incredibly fascinating account of the mental care health industry—showing how the judge and jury of mental health is also not a perfect science (how it's harder to prove sanity over insanity; the overclassified DSM IV/V and how that fosters the pharmaceutical companies; are CEO's and dictators just as psychotic as serial murders?) Ronson's perspective is somewhat of a journalist/sleuth, albeit openly laden with his own biases (many of which he'll waver on--but in a humbling sort of way that reveals that even journalists have their biases/ethical grapples). Either way, this book has been out on loan and requested by everyone since I finished reading it, so I highly recommend to anyone.
