What I cant believe is that there is not a single review yet of the great book. How will others decide if this is something they want to read?
If I just say this was a great book would that be enough?
I started this book and read 225 pages in one evening. I just had to keep turning the pages. At the beginning, I found her writing to be confusing, as if she was confused and mentally ill, just the 1st few chapters. In those chapters she is visiting her parents with Dave and her two stepsons. Of course at this point she doesnt even realize her problem or that her mother is mentally ill. I think the confusing writing style is brilliantly portraying her world.
As she begins to discover that she doesnt recognize faces, and that she is not a schizophrenic, her writing changes, into more a more clear and confident voice.
Her brother is never mentioned and I thought that was weird but she does explain that in her acknowledgements.
Heather Sellers wrote a book, called "Georgia Under Water" before she understood and wrote about her face blindness. She became well known, as a writer and a teacher of writing at Hope college. She has also written creative writing books. I now want to read Georgia under water, it is touted as mainly autobiographic, about her life with her Alcoholic father and mentally ill mother. The character in Georgia underwater, has a brother so this might give you more insight into why her brother is not mentioned in You DONT Look Like Anyone I Know.
