Howard Dully's memoir My Lobotomy is both painful and inspiring to read. Howard received a lobotomy at the age of 12 at the urging of his stepmother. His memoir reveals how the lobotomy affected his life from his teenage through adult years. Even without the lobotomy Howard's memoir would be a fascinating one because it says much about society's treatment of the mentally ill and juvenile delinquents, and painful family relationships. It is difficult to read about how Howard was never given a chance as a youngster to live a normal life or reach his full potential, but it is remarkable to learn how he ultimately turns his life around.
