"People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, it's easy."
Unfortunately, I'd seen "Girl, Interrupted" the movie, a long time before I read the book, which obviously is always the wrong way to do it. When I did decide to get the book, I was really hoping that the movie wouldn't create a biased picture in my head of the characters and their situations and I'm very glad to say that it didn't. The movie is a great representation and exaggeration of the book but it didn't spoil it for me too much, because the book is much more in depth and we get to learn a lot more about our main girl Susanna and her "Condition".
