Book Review - The Night of the Rabbit by Zach Tutor
Book Review - The Night of the Rabbit by Zach TutorZach Tutor, author of Zig Zag: The Story of a Man, His OCD and the Secret of a Nervous Mind is an author who is not only writing about someone he cares about but is also an expert in his field. His story of OCD and recovery is so personal and fascinating that if you haven't read it yet, I recommend starting with The Night of the Rabbit.Zach Tutor is not only writing about OCD but the related disorder known as agoraphobia, which is a phobia that can limit the sufferer's daily life, socially, financially and even physically. Zach also tells of his battle with cancer in great detail. Cancer, being such a frightening disease, becomes the focal point of the story and Zach's fight to beat the disease and continue to live life as normal as possible is so personal that you may want to make it a point to check out Zach's website, zachtutor.com, to see how you feel about the book.Like most of the book, it is written in an appealing, conversati onal style. There are several snippets of stories about his struggles with his OCD and other anxiety disorders but the majority of the book is about the mental and physical battle Zach has fought to recover from his disorder. It also features the story of another book Zach has written, another OCD book and a book that will be published next year.One of the nice things about Zach's books is that he allows his readers to become a part of his experience and that is something very few authors are willing to do. Since we can never really know what someone else is going through, it is up to us to fill in the blanks. This is where Zach allows us to share his experiences in a way that is both honest and inspirational.While writing Zach Tutor found that being able to write a book on OCD made him realize that his own suffering did not compare to his other OCD sufferers' suffering. He states on the website that he started writing about his OCD after finding that the vast majority of his OCD pa tients were struggling with the condition. The result of this realization is a unique combination of stories, personal anecdotes and scientific studies about OCD and recovery.For those who enjoy memoirs, the book is well worth reading. It is full of personal accounts, as well as the struggles Zach had to overcome in order to successfully fight off his disorder. And since most of the chapters in the book are included as appendices, the book should prove quite informative.To me, Zach Tutor's book The Night of the Rabbit, is a must read. It helps a person of any age, no matter their psychological condition, to stay on the right path.
