The beginning

The beginning of Girl, Interrupted immediately caught my interest. The author jumped right into telling about slipping into a parallel universe. Susanna Kaysen, the main character, tells how she was evaluated for more than 3 hours and immediately sent to McLean Hospital. She was diagnosed with severe depression, hopelessness and suicidal ideas. Susanna goes on to tell about her new friends, from her mental hospital, suicidal stories along with her own stories. The detail of this book intrigued me and kept me interested.
