Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by angelica
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.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by amanda jasso

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.
