What's a Recent Book You've Read that you Would Not Recommend? Why?

Asked by serenityNOW (3641points) March 16th, 2009

I’ve seen the opposite thread a lot, but what wouln’t you recommend? My vote is “Manic”, by Teri Cheney. I think it glorifies Bipolar disorder and does a great disservice to many who think their bipolar illness cannot be controlled or at least made a bit more manageable with the help of caring professionals.

If you may recall, I fluthered about my bipolar disorder being un-treatable and how it would just get progressively worse, making my outlook rather bleak. I was reading “Manic” during that menacing time.
