This was the definition of underwhelming.

Although I appreciate the crude depiction of depression, I also think that books, and memoirs especially, must have an engaging factor to them, and some kind of structure that makes sense over all. But this book spends too much time describing the childhood, without adding any new details to it and then rushes over adulthood events that played a bigger part for the climax of the book.

So at the end the only redeeming qualities of this book were that the text wasnt too dense so it was easy to follow, and that is very close to reality for those trying to understand a close one going through it.

Despite its flaws, this has got to be one of the best books I've read. Slow paced but a devouring read. You empathize with Wurtzel even when you know, and she knows, she screwed up. A fight through depression with an inspiring end. As someone who suffers from depression but is in a good place right now, I only recommend this book to someone who is in a healthy mind.
