|
Flipping Point is a stream of consciousness look into the mind of the author as he tries to understand the roots of his lifelong battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. It flows through several events, relationships and offhand thoughts, some humorous, others heartbreaking, as he seeks answers to the ultimate existential questions. It began on his 59th birthday, as a movie theater owner whose only family is his 15-year-old, diabetic, blind dog, with an offhand typing spree at the computer keyboard. One story began the next until he went back and forth within his own timeline, sussing out the specific events and occurrences that dotted his life, leading to where he is at that very moment of typing. As we all struggle with the ultimate question, "how did I get here," Flipping Point could be more than just a singular autobiography, but an iconic look into all of our souls to find both the humor and pathos of our individual lives.

It is without a doubt a tough subject but what gets you into it is (the author's) unvarnished honesty and a glimpse inside a real persons mind and way of dealing with life. An extraordinarily captivating read.
