Book Review of My Lobotomy

My Lobotomy
dulcimer42 avatar reviewed on + 107 more book reviews


Young boy, most likely ADHD, back in the 50s. Stepmother didn't know how to handle him so she arranged a new, unorthodox, procedure - a lobotomy: Where an ice pick was used to separate areas of the brain. Howard never knew what happened, but just knew he seemed different. Not until he was in his 50s, did he learn the truth. An amazing true story.
