4.0 out of 5 stars A touching story, Mar 9 2003
By Avery Z. Conner (West Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews
Faye has written a touching and uplifting story about her struggle with bipolar disorder. She appears to have been afflicted with a pretty severe variety of the disorder, perhaps Bipolar I would be the proper diagnosis. The writing isn't as good as in the finest mental illness memoirs, such as "An Unquiet Mind" or "Girl, Interrupted", but she is still able to tell her story vividly and honestly. The reader is likely to find himself cheering for her, hoping she can get her life back together. Anyone with bipolar disorder should read this book. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book Everyone Should Read!, Jan 24 2002
By V. T. Murray "Victoria Taylor Murray" (Kentucky, Author,) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Manic by Midnight by talented writers Faye Shannon & Mary Jo Elsasser is a book everyone should read-- A Moving story offering a candid description of a person who suffers with 'Bipolar Disorder.'

The heartfelt story will take the reader on a joy ride that is far from 'FUN' for those who suffer from this devastating illness.

Manic by Midnight is a 'Must Read' in my opinion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just The Book I Have Been Searching For..., Nov 13 2001
By A Customer
I rate this book five stars! This well written and fascinating book is about the author's experience with mental illness. Her perspective helped me put into words so many feelings I had. I especially enjoyed the part where the author wrote from a psychotic viewpoint, which makes the book all the more unique.

This book would surely be of help to a bipolar or a relative of a mentally ill person.
