Hello guys! How's your Friday so far? Today's review is of Spilt Coffee. This book was very short, but intriguing. If you like the sound of it, go here to purchase the book!
Spilt Coffee is a book about three men with schizoaffective disorder. These men are aging in solitude except for their young Filipino nurse that they all love. This story captures what it is like to be mentally ill and all the challenges that come with it.
I liked this book. It sounded a little odd at first, and I was afraid that I would not like it, but I found it very interesting. The story was confusing in some parts, but then again, being mentally ill is confusing. The way Bauder writes makes you feel as though you are in the main characters mind, so readers get a glimpse into a schizoaffective mind. The shizoaffective mind will produce hallucinations and delusions, and when you are reading, it is hard to tell which parts are not real until the doctor tell the main character he was talking to himself.
Although this sounds like it would be a pain, it is not very annoying. When you start the book, you know the characters are mentally ill, so you are looking to find the confusion and see what they see, walk a mile in their shoes.
Overall I found this book very interesting and I would definitely recommend it to those who enjoy memoirs/nonfiction!
