Summary: A really good book
Review: A must read for anyone with a mental illness or for anyone close to someone with a mental illness. The book really shows the reader how painful and frustrating and heartbreaking life with severe mental illness is. I like that it also gives the perspective of family and friends. It made me even more grateful for modern advances in mental health medicines.

Summary: Sad but triumphant
Review: Also a Westchester resident, I was very moved and sadened by Lori's story. It really comes from the heart, and I felt her pain as I read the story. I've encountered a few people afflicted with this disease and became fascinated in knowing more about the subject. Lori's book gives you great insight and follows the slow but unavoidable deterioration of your mind. Don't miss this wonderful book!

Summary: Rare and informative
Review: As a psychotherapist, this book made a deep impression on me. I never expected to read such a convincing and engaging acccount of the schizophrenic's experience. I feel more able to empathise and understand by clients for having read it. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in the subject and, especially, to anyone struggling with the disease in a friend or family member.

Summary: An incredible journey
Review: Before reading The Quiet Room I knew very little of mental illness and its effect on people. This book has given me a better understanding of a person's world who was dealing with schizophrenia. I could not put it down for one second! I think that it was very well-written and had a lot of surprising twists and turns. This book is especially astonishing to me simply because of the fact that Lori had written it herself. For someone who was once so sick and mentally disturbed, I feel that she was very brave to have lived it all again while informing others of this horrible disease and what it can or cannot cause. This book gets a tremendous two thumbs up from me!

Summary: Haunting Reality
Review: Even in a perfect world, the glass is sometimes cracked. And so it is in "The Quiet Room", when Lori Schiller's reality begins to fall apart. Schizophrenia is a disease that effects millions of people. Still, it is often thought of as split personality and is treated that way because of Hollywood. "The Quiet Room" shows us schizophrenia up close and personal. Not only is it written from Lori's views, but also her family and doctors. The book carefully displays the turmoil a family goes through when a loved one suffers from a disease, any disease. The book goes into wonderful details and lets the reader in on secrets that would never be told. A truly wonderful read.
