Helpful Score: 5

The Soloist really opens eyes to the homeless and mentally disabled. The book, of course, is much better than the recently released film. One thing that did bother me-Lopez blasts those that have let Nathaniel down. He makes a point to expose Nathaniel's father for leaving and beginning a new family. Yet, the back of the book claims he has three children. While Lopez goes on and on about his new daughter and wife, he never mentions his other two children. Seems hypocritical, but I may not know the whole story. That aside, the book is well written and helps us see the unseen.
