I love doing first chapter reviews because I believe that the first chapter really gives readers an idea of where the book will be going or should be. I was interested in reviewing the first chapter of John E. Wade's The Bipolar Millionaire because a) the title intrigued me and b) I was hoping it was one of those stories that showed you despite someone's handicaps, they could still go on and make a success of their life.
In John's first chapter, he takes you back in time to his first experience to what he believed to be a bipolar attack. He had had meningitis which he believes brought on the bipolar attack. He couldn't understand what was going on as he had been in perfect health throughout cadet school. He had high aspirations - even to the point of aiming for the White House - before all this happened. His girlfriend left him during this time and ordinarily that would send anyone over the edge.
This first chapter left me wanting more. I wanted to know what happened - what happened after Cadet school? Did he get his girlfriend back? Did he continue with the attacks to the point where it was unbearable to live? What about these millions? Did he already have millions or did he make them later?
I will be reviewing this book soon and can't wait to read more!
