4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, easy to relate to book, 5 April 1997
By A Customer
I think that Tracy does an excellent job portraying her journey through depression, and that it accurately shows how a person viewed as "normal" by everyone surrounding them can actually have a multitude of problems. I have also read Prozac Nation, and I feel that although both deal with the issue of depression, Tracy's portrayl seems to be the kind of depression experienced by most people, rather than Elizabeth's all-out non-functioning type of depression. I found it very easy to understand and even to relate to because I, too, suffered from depression and am aware of the fact that you can live your life, and achieve many things of which you are proud of, but you can't appreciate your accomplishments because you are always trying to do better.
