5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read Book!, 10 Feb 2003
This is one of the most readable books I have read, I found it almost impossible to put down at times. Linda's personality & humour shine through in her writing. As it is written in diary form it makes it easier to read & to understand what Linda goes through & what it is like to live with mental health problems like schizophrenia/depression, especially the extreme mood & health-state changes that can occur from one day to the next without warning. I would recommend this to anyone having to cope with a mental health problem (you're not alone) and for those who care for someone who suffers from one/just wants to find out more about what it is REALLY like to suffer from one.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic insight into a frightening disorder, 19 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This book, which was Mind's book of the year not so long ago, is fantastic. It's readability is second to none, Linda Hart writes with a suprisingly light touch on such a heavy subject area. It's written in a diary form, so you feel as if - in some small way - you are going through it all with her. Her personality shines through and seems to be truely remarkable. I found alot of her hopes and fears rang true with me, as i am suffering from a smiliar disorder. Overall this is an excellent chance for anyone, user or carer or general person on the street, to gain insight into this often misunderstood condition.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Phone at Nine Just to Say You're Alive (Paperback)
This book, which was Mind's book of the year in 1996, is just brilliant, I found it almost impossible to put down at times. Linda Hart writes with a suprisingly light touch on such a heavy subject area. It is written in diary form, so you feel as if you are going through it all with her. Linda's personality and humour shine through in her writing. Overall this is an excellent chance for anyone, carer or general person, to gain insight into this often misunderstood condition.
