I loved this book. It is a little depressing but very fascinating to go into the life of someone who is going mentally insane. Couldn't put it down.

A haunting story - semi-autographical - of a woman's decent into madness and recovery.

I love books about psychiatric hospitals or mental illness. Sadly, this book was very dry and just a very slow read. I found myself having to force myself through the book.

A wonderful read but a slow one. I felt the narrator's pain, who was essentially the author, and connected with her. However, the story itself was slow to take off, especially in the beginning. Additionally, the end just left me with a dull ache of, "Really?" However, it is realistic; life doesn't always have a clear 'happy' or 'sad' ending, but I think there could have been a better place to end it or way to. I did really enjoy it though.
