I love a good unreliable narrator, and that is exactly what Miles is... even he doesn't really know how reliable (or not) he is. Sheff really captured Miles's downward spiral into his disease as he stops taking his medication... it is slow and subtle at first, until all of a sudden you realize that he is completely lost to his schizophrenia. This is an honest---but ultimately hopeful---depiction of a truly awful disease. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Schizo is a great quick read, but the problem is, about halfway through I didn't have the heart in me to pick it back up and continue reading. I easily grew tired of Mile's life, despite the fact that he is a great and complex character, and was just waiting for the end moment of dawning realization and explanation that we all knew was coming. I could of easily given this 2/5 stars, but the ending was so great that I just couldn't do it.
