"IT"doesnt sound right....
Advantages: A cant put the book down read Disadvantages: Maybe a fictional?
...abuse and threatening behavior to a child by his drunken mother is one of sorrow and heartbreak.
Dave tells of how his family was once a loving close family until his mother becomes a drunk in a short amount of time. What follows is Dave's account of survival. He tells of physical abuse at the hands of his mother, how she punishes him by starving him, feeding him poison, making him sit in cold baths for hours on end, making him eat vomit and excrement ... ...Dave survived things like not eating (surely he would be emaciated?) and his mother making him drink Amonia.
If this is a completely true story, then I retract my statement of doubt. It's just too hard to believe that no-one notices this appalling abuse in a young childs life. ...

Descent into madness
Advantages: See Op Disadvantages: See Op
...one of its many sufferers. An Unquiet Mind is the true memoir of Jamison's extended descent into 'madness'. Born into a middle-class American family, Jamison was blessed with prosperous parents, intelligence and self-confidence. But along with her father and elder sister, she was prone to periods of severe 'black' moods. Jamison accepted these episodes as just being part of her personality. . . until. . . by the time she had settled into her Doctorate, ... ...and vibrant disposition. An unquiet mind is a brave personal story, which, no doubt, could have cost the author dearly in terms of her professional life. It is not a book geared for certain groups but is for anyone with preconceived notions of mental health. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of all is Jamison's explanations of the positive aspects of her condition and the europhoria brought... As a result of this, her memoir is also an educational ...

Great Book
Advantages: Great foreword, lots of things about every song, nice cover, interesting Disadvantages: Couldn't find any
This is a biography about Eminem. This book is definitely a must have for all Eminem fans and even non-eminem fans. The book includes lyrics from all of his songs and it shows about a paragraph to a page about every single page. It is interesting reading about why he wrote the song, what it was about, who it was about, when he wrote,where he wrote it and the media attention it got. At the beggining their is a very interesting foreward by Eminem saying ... ...life; for example what the media are saying about him isn't true. That he isn't homophobic and many more things like that he mentions in the forward. This book is truly AMAZING ...

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Advantages: A moving, funny and terrifying read. Disadvantages: None
...such men that Brian Keenan, an Irish teacher, found himself when on his way to work at the English University of Beirut.
What was to follow for Brian, would have made a lesser man insane, I am sure that if it were me who had been taken I would have been dead by now.
Brian Keenan was raised in an Ireland full of troubles, sectarian values were abound and he was himself troubled by the futility of the young people dying for a cause they understood ... ...complete horror with honesty and an understanding of how his captors viewed him in relation to themselves. He was, quite simply, an infidel and unclean, he was never allowed to look upon any of them and wore a blindfold whenever they were present.
He was determined that he would show no fear to them, despite the fact that he was, understandably, scared witless for much of the time.
His captors would try and engage him in conversation, asking about ...
