"Not since Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar has a personal account of life in a mental hospital achieved as much popularity and acclaim" TIME "Intelligent and painful" Guardian "Poignant, astonishing memoir" New York Times 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 to be treated for depression. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital renowned for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles. A clear-sighted, unflinching work that provokes questions about our definitions of sane and insane, Kaysen's extraordinary memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. Review: No complaints here. - Great book, I love the movie so it's not surprising that I like this book too- I haven't picked up a book in a while and this was perfect for me because there aren't tons of pages. It's pretty short and an interesting read. Review: An interesting story - I sometimes struggle to focus on books but i found myself gripped by this one. Its shorter then other books, but is packed with so much, the author articulates their experiences in such a way that it is easy to follow and draws you in, it offers such an insight into the experiences of these women in this hospital that you feel like you are watching it happen. I could also see this being potentially triggering due to the nature of being in a mental health institution Some trigger warnings to note: self harm/suicide, drug abuse, SA, parental abuse (there are probably more I havent mentioned but these are what stood out most to me) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 8,357 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 21 in Psychologist Biographies 23 in Depression & Mental Health Biographies 77 in General Medical Issues Guides | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (8,049) | | Dimensions | 20.7 x 1.3 x 15.2 cm | | Edition | 42966th | | ISBN-10 | 1860497926 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1860497926 | | Item weight | 158 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | 17 Feb. 2000 | | Publisher | Virago | ## Images ![Girl, Interrupted - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TQfYyKQrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No complaints here. *by R***O on 17 April 2026* Great book, I love the movie so it's not surprising that I like this book too- I haven't picked up a book in a while and this was perfect for me because there aren't tons of pages.
