Touching book with a humourous perspective  5 Stars
July 18, 2004
Highly recommended! Jensen has compiled his experiences of life in a world distored by mental illness, allowing the casual reader a window into his thoughts both as he undergoes a breakdown following publication of his first book, and his own attempts later to make sense of what happened. His humourous observations frequently lighten the deeper story that will touch the nerve of anyone affected by mental illness- either personally or through their family and friends.

its O.K. by diane (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)  3 Stars
July 05, 2004
Paranoia..the reason i picked up this book was because Jensen and I had something in common - we both had Psychosis. Although many have different episodes, experiences, but some similarities - Jensen's autobiographical portrayal of himself is quite witty. The book doesnt merely explain in details how his mind gets tangled up in his first book that he published - i mean- i guess you have to buy his first book -"SHIVA 3000"...but i wouldnt, this book was enough for me.
