This is probably one of the best books I've ever read, a truly fascinating and very sad journey through the life of a man haunted by an progressive illness that could best be described as a living hell. The author has done an amazing job getting to the core of his personality and the reasons behind his actions and gives you a rare insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual. This book will stay with you forever, and has left me with a deep sympathy for the man. Highly recommended, beautifully written, brilliant from start to finish, A MUST READ!
