Kay Jamison's writing style
I really enjoyed "An Unquiet Mind", I'm really into learning more about mental illness' which was the main subject of this novel. Another aspect that I really enjoyed about "An Unquiet Mind"was Jamison's writing style. She wrote the book from two perspectives which was an interesting component--one as a healthcare professional and the other as someone suffering from bipolar disorder. I also loved that the book was a memoir because it made me connect with the author more. The book gave a lot of insight on what it's like to have this disease. I overall would rate the book a 4 out of 5, I really enjoyed it!

I agree with Sabrina. I think the book was interesting because of the style of having two perspectives from the same person. Reading about peoples' mental illnesses are also interesting to me and I like reading more about it.
