Book Reviews of My Lobotomy
Book Review: A Human Face to Modern Medical Misfortune
Summary: 5 Stars
I received a free copy of this book and wondered if I would be interested. As I rode the subway home from work that day I opened the cover and read all the way until I nearly smacked into my own front door. I could not put the book down. With the aid of Charles Fleming, Howard Dully tells a riveting story of parental neglect and abuse and the terrible outcomes, but he does it with nary a sense of self pity. This book is beautifully written in simple language and puts a human face on a tragic procedure most of us today know little of. This book appealed to my love of memoirs and my interest in medical history. It is heartwrenching and yet leaves one with hope. I applaud Mr. Dully for letting the world know his story, and I encourage anyone who finds this page to get the book--I doubt you will be disappointed.
