I was wondering if anybody has any information on the real Daisy Randone? She was my favorite character, she had me so intrigued and I wish I knew more about her and how she became so confused, if it was circumnstances in her life or if she was just born that way. my email address is seek2findme2002@yahoo.com. Thanks

It was very interesting and hit the spot of young readers trying to understand problems of their own.

I was inspired by susana's story to better myself because of the situations i face in life. I found that we are so alike in so many ways and in experiences that have happened to me. I love her attitude she has when stepping into the situation and leaving it. I sheds new hope on what my future can be.

I have read this book and found it interesting as well as motivating. As I have gone through the same situations as Susanna Kaysen, and I have found that I can relate to her very well. I enjoyed the book extremely much. The movie that was based on the book was my all time favorite so I decided to give the book a chance. The first day I purchased the book I found myself not being able to put it down. I finished it within the day I got it, and have read it many times since. I recommend this book to everyone! It's very interesting, riveting, and it explores things that many people know very little on.

Love this book as well as the movie

A good choice for confused youth and someone battling with their sanity. It's always nice to know that there are people out there crazier than your self. Its also nice to have a key whole version of those peoples lives that we have come to call crazy.
