Book Review of Girl, Interrupted

Girl, Interrupted
reviewed on + 75 more book reviews


Susanna Kaysen was sent to McLean Hospital after one session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before. She spent the next two years on a ward for teenage girls in a pychiatric hospital. This book is her memoir, she story of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a very good and somewhat frightening book about mental illness.
