I wrote about this in another thread, not realizing that it belongs here...

I just finished this book and although it's not really about E, the main character has epilepsy, and in the course of the story, the reader sees what it's like for this particular guy, and how he deals with it. I like the book a lot, but aside from that, while reading it, I realized what a good way this is to educate the public. I don't remember ever coming across this in a novel before. I hope everyone in the world reads it and I'm very interested to hear what others think of the way E is treated. Anyone else read it?

For descriptions of the plot, etc. see this Amazon site:

Thanks Marion, I hadn't heard of this book before. It sounds great, I put it on my wishlist...
 
Nakamova -- It's a current book (2004) - probably in your library.
