One of the few books that wasn't much better than its movie adaptation. I think that given the subject matter, this could have been a lot better, but the writing style never quite draws you in.

if u know this book u are female sigma fr

As I was reading the last few chapters, I was thinking 3/5 stars... Until the end when she explains the title. I thought I knew why it was titled, Girl Interrupted, until I read it. This is a good book and I appreciate her sharing her story. Although she wasn't there long, compared to some of the other patients, it's an interesting perspective that I enjoyed reading.

I think I would enjoy the movie a bit more... The book was good but somewhat difficult to follow.

The movie was better.. which almost never happens.
