"Poignant, honest and triumphantly funny. . . [a] compelling and heartbreaking story." --Susan Cheever, The New York Times Book Review "Tough-minded . . . darkly comic . . . written with indelible clarity."--Newsweek "[A]n account of a disturbed girl's unwilling passage into womanhood...and here is the girl, looking into our faces with urgent eyes."--Diane Middlebrook, Washington Post Book World From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital.  She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching documnet that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    Great book

    I loved this book. The moment I got home and saw that it had come in the mail that day, I opened it and started reading it. I had to go to my younger sister's band concert that night but read during it, instead of listening. The movie is the main reason why I decided to buy this book, because of it's amazing portrayl of the life in an asylum. The book was a quick, easy read, really allowing you see the inside of a disturbed person's mind, and the medical forms inbetween chapters set an even more real tone to the book.

    Girl, Interrupted. Great book with a great ending.

    I bought the book Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen. I finished it just the other week. The book is very funny and sarcastic. Read it, you'll love it.

    Great seller, fast shipment. Thank you!!

    Loved the novel. Great story with great meaning. Beautiful insight of the mind of a "crazy" person. We all may be crazy.
