Guide Review - Neural Misfire - by Jeff Kazmierczak
"Neural Misfire" by Jeff Kazmierczak really held my attention, and I looked forward to picking it up again each evening. The story of college freshman Kevin Mortin is based upon the author's own experiences. I was glad to see that in the preface, Mr. Kazmierczak is careful to tell readers that this story was of *one person's* bipolar disorder and that every manic-depressive person is unique. Let me stress again, though, that this is not for younger readers.
