Helpful Score: 1

A man's search for meaning in a lost, sad, and terrible childhood. When I heard the NPR story that ultimately inspired the writing of this book, I had to read Mr. Dully's story. I was horrified at how Mr. Dully was treated and I think he tried very hard to be objective in his search for meaning in his life. Ultimately, I don't know if his operation created his life, or if his life would have been the same, lobotomy or no lobotomy. However, in any case, I am thankful Mr. Dully had the courage to write this book. The writing is sometimes weak and pedantic, but what a story!
