Becca

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.

i thought this book described insanity in the best way posible. it made me wonder if the insane were really insane or weather sociaty was so insane we think the normal people are insane

I thought that the book was good, except, I couldn't really follow it. It jumped from things to other stuff, and it was really difficult for me to follow. I guess that it was an okay book, but I probably need to go and see the movie to get the jist of it. Otherwise, I think it was a pretty good book.

The book was great, but the movie was excellent!
Marci

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