Book Reviews of Prozac Nation
Book Review: xoxo
Summary: 5 Stars
when reading through the reviews of this book, i get the feeling that depressed people like it, while not-depressed people resent it. that is very sad. it actually means,that depressed people will only ever be understood by other depressed people. People who have never been touched by depression will never udnerstand. Depression isn't something you choose to be interesting or out of fun. In fact, I think that of most people you don't know they are depressed because they are well at hiding.From some of the reviews I get the feeling people think that it's just her own fault. That really makes me cringe. For me personally, this book was a revelation which told me for the first time the name of the 'problem' which i have. Depression. To anyone who suffers from depression themselves I can only recommend this book. It has made me feel better in fact.Oh well...
Book Review: yet they all want to talk
Summary: 4 Stars
as anyone who will read this review will know that this is my opinion and mine alone! personally, this was quite an eyeful for me to digest. i loved it and hated it all at the same time. true your personal depression may vary from the author but it is tragic none the less and that is something we all can relate to. i read 1 review that tried to deminish elizabeth wurtzel's experience to meer whining. i completely and undeniably disagree with their rantings. i also would like to add that if all she did was "complain" and "tell her story to anyone that would listen" to be a bad thing as you deem it then why are you posting your sorted life's issues here. wurtzel tells HER story! not yours or a generalized version of sociaty. ONLY HERS! some will identify and some will not. that is what makes us all so beautiful... unique. don't hate for what you can not understand! appreciate the diversity and then get over it! in closing........loved it!
