This is a book that I read in a matter of hours, and despite being a fast read, it is the kind of book that made me exclaim, "What the hell did I just read?" when I finished it. It is supposed to be the diary of a madwoman, but when I think of such a person, what I expect is irrational and incoherent ramblings. This book is so disturbing and weird that makes me think of a psychotic, possessed killer instead. This book just makes no sense and, although I know that every person has different opinions about the same things, I can't possibly understand how someone can love this book.

Finished this last night. It started out with excellent writing and the subject matter was superb. I don't know how to describe it, but words like unsettling, uncanny, and spooky come to mind. It is 100 days of short journal essays. Some are a paragraph long others are several pages. The ones in the middle aren't as good as the bookends, but the subject matter continually caught me off guard. It was quite unsettling to hear some of the same comments those voices in my head say that I would never say out loud being expanded on by a character with mental illness.
