After deciding to read it, but didn't for about four times I finally read it. I wasn't sure when the right time was to read it. But I'm pretty sure that this book is about Schizophrenia, a mental illness that I think to be quite interesting. 

The book isn't that long, but that is what makes this book perfect. It doesn't just gives the reader a good message in few words, but also symbolises how fast a mental illness can take power over you before you see it coming. The wallpaper and how it was described was very interesting. While reading it got more and more intense. Showing how much faster the Schizophrenia spreads into the brain, when something triggers it.

"The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and infuriating enough, but the pattern is torturing."

As someone who thinks that mental illnesses (especially the hallucinating ones) are interesting to know more about I enjoyed this book a lot.

wow!!! i just finished this in one sitting and it’s instantly one of the best stories i’ve EVER read! it is so well written, the pacing is perfect, and you feel as though you are there. it became quite creepy and also sad, there is definitely a lot of meanings behind this book to think about as the author is a well-known feminist writer. this novella really evoked a lot of emotions for me, so it’s a definite 5 stars!!!
