## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read as a seperate entity to the movie
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 March 2012*

I watched the film (which is one of my favourites) before reading the book, and was still not disappointed despite the obvious changes in story which the film had done - to give it more of a story for the cinema, I guess.When viewed as two entities, and the book being more of a memoir than the punchy story in the film adaption, the book is still an amazing account into Susanna Kaysen's mind and views on the world, as well as an informative look into how mental health was viewed and treated in the 60s. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting, and felt really connected to her. Her writing is in no way self-indulgent, but often beautifully written - especially on the occasions when she did let herself run away with her mind, and rather funny and quirky in places too.If you loved the film, then definitely get hold of the book for more background information on the people living in McLean (Claymoore) with her, including what happened to Lisa Rowe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shout to my fellow BPD homies
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 November 2020*

I have BPD and unlike more common mental illnesses, there are far fewer books, TV shows or movies featuring characters or people with the disorder.You can see a remarkable shift between the previous knowledge and treatments of BPD at the time of writing to those of the present time. I’d like to say that attitudes to those living with BPD have also improved, but unfortunately, stigma is still fairly entrenched within both the public eye and the profession itself.Overall, I’d say I enjoyed the book much more than the film. I feel as though the movie romanticises mental illness a little, whilst the book more accurately reflects the raw and gritty reality of living with mental illness, and of course, how it could affect any of us.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really intriguing book!!!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 January 2026*

Extremely captivating and interesting, i could not put this book down, i was so invested on what was going to happen next!
