LCCN 2009368427 Type of material Book Personal name Dully, Howard, 1948-Main title My lobotomy: a memoir / Howard Dully and Charles Fleming. Edition 1st pbk. ed.

Scope and content "At twelve, Howard Dully was guilty of the same crimes as other boys his age: he was moody, messy, rambunctious, and perpetually at odds with his parents. Yet somehow, this normal boy became one of the youngest people on whom Dr. Walter Freeman performed his barbaric transorbital--or ice pick--lobotomy. Abandoned by his family within a year of the surgery, Howard spent his teen years in mental institutions, his twenties in jail, and his thirties in a bottle. It wasn't until his forties that Howard began to pull his life together. But he still struggled with one question: Why? Through his research, Howard met other lobotomy patients and their families, talked with one of Freeman's sons about his father's controversial life's work, and confronted his own father about his complicity. And, in the doctor's files, he finally came face to face with the truth"--From publisher description.

I hated this book! It contains so much boring, unrelated detail, and it is written as a very elementary level. It gets worse and worse through out the book. I had heard bits and pieces of his story previously and enjoyed it, but he does not have the skills to write a whole book. By the end you hate the writer and his story!
