I think I would have DNF this one if I was not reading it for uni. Not that it was bad, quite the opposite, but the graphic depiction of incestual abuse and rape was too much for me. (I also wish more people had pointed out the incest of this book as it doesn't show right away when looking at the content warnings)
The audiobook is narrated by the author which fitted her style and stream of consciousness narration perfectly.  
A great book but I am so glad I'm done reading it and will most certainly never pick it up again. 

Toujours assez dubitative du concept de HPI/surdoués/... et bien que l'autrice propose plusieurs pistes de réflexions quant à la véracité scientifique de cette appellation, mes doutes ne sont pas dissipés. 

Néanmoins, le livre est intéressant pour les personnes neuroatypiques en général. 

It took me four years to finish this book and I'm so grateful to have given it the time it needed and not to have rushed it. One of my favourite reads of the year for sure. I cannot wait to read it again now that I've got to know them

Did not expect it to be as queer as it was. 

I get why this book is such a classic in feminist thinking, and it offers a lot of very good insight, but there was too much spirituality in it for me

Few insightful informations but overall it was a pretty basic self-help book to be even more productive in a capitalist environment. The constant example of losing weight as a positive habit to incorporate into your life got quite annoying as it was never challenged. 

I can tell it's a good book and that it is very well written, but I'm definitely not made for Toni Morrison style

A very good guide for beginners  

I'm sure if I took time I would find flaws to this book, but the sobs this book took out of me are well worth 5 stars. And it was such a pleasure to listen to.

I've really mixed feelings about this book. It was undoubtedly very interesting but I struggled to understand to whom this book was written. It seems sometimes too basic for a professional and sometimes too precise for a non-professional, especially when describing traumatic experiences. I also felt this book could have benefited from a bit more inclusion, especially considering how recently it was published. The only example I have currently in mind is homosexuality: if I remember correctly the only mention of homosexuality was (TW: SA) to describe a heterosexual man who had “homosexual contact” “compulsion” until cured of trauma when he stopped those “compulsions” to instead go fishing. The various sexist comments were so tiring, I cannot count the number of times I sighed hearing the word “promiscuity”. 

I'm still glad to find psychology material that addresses the real world and politics at least a bit. The bar is very low. 

I don't know why I like this book. I'm 100% sure that at another point in my life, in different circumstances I would have hated it but I surprisingly loved it. I loved the horror, I loved the disgusting descriptions, I loved how grotesque and weird it felt and I loved the commentary it made.  

Du grand Diglee. C'était profondément beau, doux, bouleversant. Quelle chance de pouvoir lire sa prose. Merci à elle(s) 

Chaque relecture est aussi merveilleuse que la précédente. Je ne me lasserais jamais de cette bande dessinée qui restera sans doute longtemps une de mes oeuvres d'arts favorites.
