This short book is written in a wry, ironic voice, which adds credibility to its narrator. I saw the movie first eons ago, and mostly remembered Lisa's character as played by Angelina Jolie. But the book is something else (thank God!). At times confessional, at others piercely observant, and always understatedly funny, this is a memoir to be savored best by those who, like the author, have found themselves at the mercy of "mental health professionals", but are now firmly on the other side of the ordeal. Definitely a book that deserves more than one reading.
