5 Stars for Voluntary Madness: Lost and Found in the Mental Health Care System (ebook) by Norah Vincent.
This is one of the most depressing and distur5 Stars for Voluntary Madness: Lost and Found in the Mental Health Care System (ebook) by Norah Vincent.
This is one of the most depressing and disturbing books I’ve read. I’ve already read Self Made-Made Man and I really like the author’s insights on what life is like being a man. But I also knew that she had taken her own life and I thought that this book would help explain that decision. It was hard listening to the author describing her experiences in the mental health facilities and knowing how ultimately it would end. ...more

4 Stars for Ballerina: Sex, Scandal, and Suffering Behind the Symbol of Perfection (ebook) by Deirdre Kelly.
I was really expecting a different book b4 Stars for Ballerina: Sex, Scandal, and Suffering Behind the Symbol of Perfection (ebook) by Deirdre Kelly.
I was really expecting a different book by the title. Maybe I should have read the synopsis instead of going by the cover. I’m a huge fan of ballet, and ultimately I found this book interesting but I wasn’t expecting a history lesson about women in the Paris Opera Ballet from the 1600’s to the 1800’s. Then an acknowledgment that there was some ballet going on in Russia, Italy, and Uk too. Then we are off to New York and what an evil genius George Balanchine was. And we finish up in the 2000’s with dancers that are finally getting treated fairly.
A tremendous amount of work went into compiling all the information that went into this book. But the story seems rather disjointed. If you’re interested in the history of ballet then you might like this. ...more
