Awesome

I work in an all girl's ward and this book is quite accurate. Girls who would normally be outcasts in regular society form an uncanny bond in treatment centers-- girls who normally hate girls and call them scandalous.

This is the screenplay version of Girl, Interrupted. It has a really interesting discussion with the movie's director along with storyboards and some pictures (black and white) from the movie.

It's interesting to read the screenplay and find the scenes that were actually cut out (among the "extras" on the dvd) and find out about the history of the film and why certain people are in it. If you liked the film then you'll definitely want to get this book.

Fast read that opened my eyes to the way mental illness was treated as well as given some insight to living with BPD. However, was left hoping for a few more details about her behaviors and cognitions.

Had to read this as part of my final project for class and found it very interesting! I don't think I'll watch the movie because the screenplay was intense enough for me, if I'm being honest. However, I look forward to digging in a bit deeper for my scene study final using one of Lisa's scenes!

evss ;)

Very good book, it made stop and think.

I story was not bad, but the movie was ten times better

I think this screenplay was absolutely amazing, based on the true events is Susanna Kaysen's life, it dealt with her being institutionalised, which is a very difficult issue to talk about, more so to create a movie.

It was such a sad and endearing story and the book, screenplay and the movie were all terribly sad.

On a different note, I found the movie a little more appealing which is a rare preference of mine as usually I prefer to read, being the avid reader that I am.
Overall a very good but tragic screenplay that will have you in tears.

Susanna writes about her own life about her personal struggles due to mental illness. We get a sneak peak into the lives of the crazy!

interesting character study...makes you feel sane...

This jumps around a lot and I found it confusing but memorable
