As a human touched in this lifetime by a bipolar relative…this was so gorgeous, kind, and relieving. I love you Ellen Forney!

Fun and helpful.

As someone suffering from this disease, a very lonely disease, Ellen so perfectly depicts the unknown aspects of Bipolar. As she describes, company for those who feel like they have none. She is amazingly talented, informative, and her vulnerability throughout her book provided me with a sense of being, that I needed. Recommended, clsarly.

i read it in two sittings! i was drawn in immediately and didn't want to put it down. great art work and easy to read text. it's very brave story. thank you, ellen.

Forney's memoir lets us in on what it is to be a crazy artist, and understand the fears for many creatives—what will happen to my art if I take medication? She manages to make a work that makes you understand the depths of depression without being depressing, and makes you cringe a little through her manic episodes. Through the entire swing of the book she maintains a sparkling sense of humor. This graphic novel views quite well on my retina display iPad. If I were using a lower resolution or smaller device, I would want to get a physical book instead. The pages are only viewable in full spreads format. It would be nice if the publisher allowed portrait mode viewing of single pages, as well.

I was not expecting this book to be this strange. It is very hard to read since it is written in the form of a cartoon. Hard to follow because you can't see the actual words on the page.
