5.0

Read it after watching the movie and it did not disappoint. I love it is made up by memories, even when the story is not linear. Even when the story in general is very interesting, the final reflection (the author questioning her diagnosis) is not only greatly argued, but i think it is extremely important when we are talking about mental health and medical malpractice. Loved it.

It started out funny and easy then it went downhill from there and boring. It's not the worst book. But not really the best either.

4.0

Este livro é um relato autobiográfico ficcionalizado sobre a mente tumultuada e sua internação em um hospital psiquiátrico na década de 1960.
Eu sempre quis ler esse livro e ver o filme inspirado nele, a jornada dela de saúde mental e sua compaixão foram coisas que me atraíram bastante.
A escrita da Susanna é fluida e é possível realizar uma leitura rápida (principalmente por ser em torno de 200 páginas).
Essa é uma leitura que recomendo para quem quer ler sobre uma pessoa que sofre de doenças mentais, enquanto ele não vai sufocar o leitor com descrições mais do que as necessárias para a jornada.
