![]() ![]() I hardly know anything about schizophrenia, so I can’t give a perspective on how it truly relates to the illness. I love love love this and you can totally call me out for the huge book nerd that I am. Hidden technical aspects of a novel like this give me life. For act three, there are no dosage notes at all. When things start going downhill (and in a technical aspect, towards the climax of the novel), so is Adam’s dosage as he’s slowly weaned off of the drug. In the beginning, Adam has just started out on the drug ToZaPrex and the dosages are listed at the beginning of each chapter. ![]() To me, that was ingenious and something that was so creative as a writer. Call me a nerd but I absolutely love the fact that Walton had her novel set up in the three-act structure simply by the dosages listed by Adam’s therapist. Boy did she hit it on the nail, though.Īs for the story, I appreciated the way it was structured. I admire Julia Walton the most for that, I think, because it is so hard sometimes as a female writer to write from the male perspective. I often laughed out loud at Adam’s unique humor and felt that I was back in high school with my husband (then boyfriend, of course) listening to his boyish conversations with his friends. Julia Walton did an amazing job shaping Adam’s character as well as the personalities of other supporting characters. I found them to be so well-grounded and extremely relatable. I think what I loved most about Words on Bathroom Walls was the characters. ![]()
