Latest reviews:
“Reminiscent of William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch, Conor Bezane has written a pithy tale of the unwitting hijack of an innocent mind by alcohol and drugs. The frustrating and ponderous story of addiction morphs into the major and minor clutches of manic-depressive disease that gyrate his life and threaten to end it. The kind and persistent lifelines for salvation thrust by his family, the overtures of friends who care, and the power of the rehab world that he ultimately accepts forms a heartwarming story of how those mightily challenged with addiction and manic depression may find a way out and new meaning in life.”
— A doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City
“A must read for anyone who has either struggled with mental illness and/or addiction, or felt helpless while a loved one battled with either disease. Or both.”
— Amazon customer Floria
“The Bipolar Addict is informative, raw and honest. From relationships damaged and repaired, Conor Bezane doesn’t pull any punches when discussing the challenges he met and continues to meet. I’m rooting for you Conor! Thank you for sharing your story and the stories of people you’ve met along your journey to sobriety.”
— Amazon customer Fran Rotella
“A gripping read! A bare-all journey into the inner soul and mind of addiction. Definitely recommend!!”
— Amazon customer Matthew Primm
“The Bipolar Addict by Conor Bezane is a graphic, painful, gripping account of the struggle and ultimate triumph of a young man who faces the burdens of mental illness, alcoholism, and — for a time — the undisclosed nature of his sexual orientation. For parents it is a critical read if only to understand how your child can live in your house, sleep in the room down the hall, eat at your table, drive your car… with you understanding virtually nothing about his deepest emotions and drives. This is a tough book to read because it is beautifully written so that every word is meaningful and the meaning stings like a bullet. Yet, it is compelling because of its candor in revealing a world that few of us understand unless we have personally experienced it, and can barely imagine if we have not.”
