Too Bright to Hear, Too Loud to See Audiobook

" It's hard to believe that this is a work of fiction; it seems so real. Such an incredibly sad story. It's tragic how this disease destroyed this man's life. "

" Billed as a novel about bipolar concerns I read this to understand a niece. I did get a good indication of the ups and downs as well as the treatment of a bipolar diagnosis, but the language the author choose to use was coarse, and I felt unnecessary, to make her point. Although the author does not self reveal it does appear she has had mental health issues that encouraged her to write the book. I had hoped for more! "

" This book was okay. I think I expected too much of it since I read a couple of rave reviews. I found it lukewarm for most of it.. until the end. Then it actually made me feel something and it was very moving. I'd say worth the read, but not worth running to Barnes & Noble and paying full price for it. "

" I'm not going into psych so its probably not a surprise I didn't love this. I think mental illness probably is underrepresented in literature but this was not entirely enjoyable. I found it painful as the main character totally went nuts. "

" Incredibly visceral, compulsively readable. "

" What a downer. Didn't see the purpose in a scrambled timeline...I have to give it two stars because I'm a sucker for good endings. This IS a groundbreaking piece of work and I understand the good reviews but it's just not for me, a reader that wants fresh and enlightening views of the world, rather then ones that are tortured by mental illness and unfortunate circumstances. "

" As the book progresses, so does the madness and the intensity. You start to see how much the main character was hiding his disorder and how if affected all around him. Great read! "

" Wow! This was an incredible book. Beautifully written, painfully descriptive, hilarious - I cannot believe this was this author's first novel. Her main character ranks right up there with some very memorable main characters and will stay with me for a very long time. Put it on your 'to read' list! "

" It took me longer than usual to finish but I am glad I did. Bipolar disorder is like many mental illnesses in that it is often hidden. This book is eye opening and often times engrossing. I really enjoyed it, despite its sad subject. A good read for anyone touched by mental illness. "

" This book started out good but did not hold my interest. Don't bother with this one. "

" So realistic that I kept thinking to myself, "Is this a memoir?" Hard to believe it was written by a women. A most excellent read. "

" I would give the first half of the book 4 stars and the second half 3 stars. I was disappointed with the ending but overall liked the book. It written from a very interesting perspective. "

" I was really absorbed by this story and then I just found it to get rather tedious. "

" I'm so glad I read this book. It seems wrong to say I enjoyed the book because it is so heartbreaking and painful but I would recommend this book. It gives you a better picture of what it must be like to be bipolar and to live with someone who is bipolar. It is not an easy row to hoe. "

" The world inside Greyson Todd's head is fascinating, horrifying, jaw-dropping, and painful to experience. "

" Amazing book that gives a realistic look into the life and mind of a person who is Bi-polar. "

" Excellent fiction written as memoir. The author certainly has experience with her subject--mental illness--and the collateral damage. "

" WOW! Powerful book! "

" I absolutely loved this book. "

" This was really interesting, especially if you know someone who suffers from bipolar or depression or anxiety. Cool to get a glimpse of what it physically feels like. "

" I couldn't care less about anyone in this book. "

" Ever wonder what it's like to be bi-polar? Turns out it's not so far from real life. "

" Interesting look into the mind of a schiophrenic "
