she discusses what it's like to be "crazy"

__ **Review** __ I found this book to be very intriguing but also strange. The writing style of the book was sharp and bold; the short chapters gave quick glances as to how she felt during her time at McLean but it was just enough to make you feel her pain. Being a fiction reader, I found it a tad bit hard to get engaged in the book. It was interesting to read, but at the same time it didn't follow a very distinct plot line and it was not in chronological order. Overall, I thought the writing was great and fast-paced which I enjoy, and also left me thinking about what it would be like to be considered "crazy" or "insane" by society. What is it to be crazy anyway?
