I have not yet read Girl, Interrupted, but I have seen the movie. I do
understand that when a book is made into a movie it can be very different from
the original book itself. Although the movie is about Susanna Kaysen, to me the
most interesting character is Daisy Randone. I think it is tragic that her life
ended at such a young age. I am sure her story would be just as interesting as
Susanna's was. I think this is a very heart-warming, tragic, and yet still enthralling
movie (and book I am sure) that will capture the hearts of many. Along with
Daisy, all of the characters are interesting in their own way. When I say this,
I think I am speaking for anyone who has read the book or seen the movie, Their
is a very big "Thank You" that should go out to Susanna Kaysen for being
generous to tell her heart-warming tale to the world. It really show s you that
you can find your self and good friends in the places you least expected. So,
Susanna Kaysen, thank you very much for sharing your story.

Girl, Interrupted is an awesome book, but you can't over look it's counterpart One Flew over the cuckoo's nest. The book definitely tells the story better than the movie, although I would never have been inspired by an assignment. I'm glad I did. It definitely made me question my sanity.

Girl,Interrupted was an amazing book. I was able to relate to it in many ways. Susanna Kaysen writes in a very detailed but amusing way. I've also become the book Girl,Interrupted in the past year. I've walked around and I have been every character in that book. I have felt like Lisa, Susanna, Polly, Cynthia, Janet, Daisy, and M.G. I've also dealt with depression, an eating disorder, and the fear of terrible reality. I suggest that every young and old person read this book and see the movie because it will touch you forever and bring out deep emotions. I still cry everytime I think of this wonderful, true, late 60's story.

The book was AWESOME! It made me think, to question my sanity and to question everybody else's as well. Susanna seems to know everything that everybody thinks, and nobody says. And she had the perfect way of putting it into words. I think that she may be a lot more sane than most people living outside of McLean hospital!
