Book Review: Compulsive reading
Summary: 4 Stars
Lighter than The Bell Jar, more accessable than One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest, Susanna Kaysen's cartoon-character protagonists add to the surrealism of a mental health care institution in 1960's America. With pithy explainations that expose the truth behind the psycho babble and the uncomfortable fact that insanity is a different matter for those who can pay, Kaysen is that rarest of creatures: comical without crassness, honest without self-indulgence and with a very firm grasp on reality, despite the diagnosis. A must read for every bemused parent who has forgotten why their teenager is "Moody, fickle, faddish, insecure: in short, impossible."
