Book Review of My Lobotomy

My Lobotomy
Bernelli avatar reviewed on + 266 more book reviews


This story caught my attention because of the lobotomy survival story, and I wanted to learn the medical changes brought about from a lobotomy...from the viewpoint of a survivor. Only a small bit of information is centered on the brain changes brought about by the terrible procedure, but the entire story is interesting. This is Howard's personal odyssey. How he finally rose above the abusive childhood, the heinous lobotomy, and how he somehow managed to survive. He struggled most of his life to finally achieve success, forgiveness and a happy home life...good for you, Howard.
