My Review:
This book made me realize that love really does conquer all. Marriage and love are not easy. This is a great book for people that have a schizophrenic in their life. There are bad times, really sad times, and of course happy times. The addition of the game was a look inside Curtis's head. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Through a series of dreams and delusions, Curtis Hansen becomes convinced that he and his wife, Pauline, are part of an intricate game devised for the entertainment of wealthy onlookers. To win, the couple must stay together despite a series of temptations and trials designed to break up their marriage. After playing “The Game” with Curtis for nine arduous years, Pauline makes a shocking discovery. Read the riveting, true account of her decade in the dark and her return to reality, hope, and happiness after Curtis is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
