Alright so I havent blogged about my books lately. Ive been slacking Im not going to lie I havent read that much lately but Im sure that will start to pick up again fairly soon. But the book Ive been reading is My Lobotomy by Howard Dully. This book is crazy just the idea of it is crazy and the fact that its true is mind blowing. I cant believe people were so willing to give their children and family members lobotomies just to save themselves the trouble of dealing with them, but yet 9 times out of 10 it caused them more problems but I guess after they messed up their brain with one they were able to just put them away and not deal with them anymore. It just cost them money instead of time.
But anyways this book is about a NORMAL kid whos stepmother basically hates him and talks to about 10 doctors to find out what can be done about him and in the end she finds this doctor who tells her, the only way to fix him is to give him a lobotomy. After only visiting with him 4 times and her 6 times and his father twice. How she talked her husband...his FATHER into letting her do it is beyond me really. But thats as far as Ive gotten is hes in the hospital getting ready to have it done.
After typing the name in google I found out you can read the whole book online how about that.
Ill let you know how the rest of it goes when I make it to the end.
hmm that sounds interesting too.. I think Ill look it up. Btw, speaking of books...my status the other day about no being able to put down the book was really not about a book...just in case you really didnt get that ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I didnt know that haha what was it about?
ReplyDeleteYea its a pretty good book so far Im about half way through it now and I the more I read it the sorry I feel for this kid its terrible what his parents and that doctor were willing to do to him.
