Melody suffers from cerebral palsy: she can neither speak nor walk, his gestures are so confused. But Melody is a genius with a photographic memory.
The author through the pages of his newspaper, the assistance it needs, how it can be hindered or humiliated just by having to go to the toilet, eating, drinking ... I not think I would have been more affected by heart than that.
The author does not censor his words - at least not in the original version - and let Melody talk freely about all the details we try to hide, to the point of pretending not to be human.
It's hard for Melody, it's hard for her parents, it's hard for me because I can do nothing. ixdé.
Fortunately, not everything is black for the girl's parents believe in it, as his assistant, his neighbor. But that does not erase the other people around him.
In reading, I knew put myself in the place of Melody, instead of his parents, and I felt so helpless. And his disability makes life easier neither one nor the other.
I wanted to get into the book, help Melody, relieve a little. But it was only a book.
Gradually, with the help of his parents, his neighbors, his auxiliary, she looks for ways to be heard, to speak, to express themselves, and prove that it is not retarded. That boils intelligence in his head.
Review a book like this is much more difficult than expected, it is full of wealth, beauty, fact, it is so important to see, read. It challenges what we think, what we do, our way of seeing things.
Out of my mind is a book that everyone should read, 10 years to the age of gods. Maybe it would make the world slightly better :)
What I liked most: The act of questioning everything by reading.
What I liked least: My impotence.
