My Lobotomy by Howard Dully and Charles Fleming

Howard Dully's memoir is another tragic story about child abuse however the abuse is amplified by a professional who is suppose to help heal, rather than cause more anguish.

If you are outraged by such studies such as Tuskegee Experiment, The Monster Study and Willowbrook State School's experiment on the mentally ill you will be disgusted by the callous work of Walter Freeman.

Dully's writing and his difficult life will captivate you and make you appreciate the things you do have. After four decades he is able to turn his life around, his book it not just about the abuse he survived, the difficult life he had but about redemption, forgiveness and the will to not let your past lead your future.

Grade: B
