"Girl Interrupted" is an excellent book. For those who saw the movie and have never read the book, believe me, the book is MUCH better.

I agree. It just seemed flip and too too cool. I wonder if the author really spent time in the bin, or perhaps doesn't remember anything about her sojourn. Hated it.
