Wow, what a poignant read! Author Jester brilliantly weaves the reader through a myriad of conditions the author was plagued with from an early age into adulthood. He was not diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome until he watched an episode of South Park. How ironic is that? Jester's life was also plagued with debilitating depression, unexplained anxiety and fear. To the author's credit, he is able to deftly tell his tale without placing himself in the victim role. No, woe is me party here. Jester's honesty, courage, and willingness to seek answers is very apparent throughout the book and gives one courage in spite of much adversity. The author's sense of humor makes this a light and very entertaining read. This book reminds me of the movie called, [...], a film based on a book by Brad Cohen, Front of the Class: [...], co-authored by Lisa Wysocky. Excellent read!
