The Kevin Show: An
Olympic Athlete’s Battle with Mental Illness by Mary Pilon
Publication Date – March 6, 2018
3 stars
Kevin Hall was a champion sailor from a young age and even
went on to sail at Brown and in the Olympics.
As a college student, he had his first experience on the show, and
interesting effect of bipolar disorder that gives him delusions of appearing on
his own reality television show. This is
a fascinating exploration of a person living with and becoming a successful
athlete with a mental illness. At times
it did seem repetitive and could have been a little shorter, but it did a good
job of humanizing someone living with bipolar disorder. I received a digital ARC of this book through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
