Girl, Interrupted

       For the past week, I have been reading "Girl, Interrupted." I really enjoyed this book because of how different it is. I loved how she really connects to the character (aka herself) and really puts you into her shoes. The characters are so interesting and unique, one second they seem like perfectly normal people, another their shouting and slamming doors and making a big fuss. I would never be able to do what she did. After reading the book, I realized she didnt make all of this up, but that this really happened to her. Being forced to go to a mental hospital and having to live with people like Lisa, Daisy, and Georgina would scare me to death. And then, on top of that that having to write a book about it and having to re-visit all the memories about living in te hospital seems unimaginably difficult to me. All together I think Susanna Kaysen did a great job on describing what her life was like living in a mental hospital, and nobody could've done a better job.
