[Carolina Herrera · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basada en la película del mismo nombre (la cual no vi, ya que el libro lo adquirí en una venta de garage). Empieza aburrido, los personajes son un poco fastidiosos, pero después de la mitad del libro se pone muy bueno. Se sigue el juicio contra Claudia que se le acusa de homicidio, su abogado Aaron Levinsky está dispuesto a salvarla, el final es inesperado y sorprendente.

ogni tanto una lettura fuori dal mio genere ci sta, soprattutto se è scritta così bene. testo datato, ma attuale. anche se i cordless ancora non esistevano. e mi ricordo uno strepitoso film (che peraltro era molto fedele al libro). libero con onore.

it's not my kind but it was written so well that it took me so much

[Antonia Jackson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very different story about mental health methods, strong personalities, male-female relationships, male power hierarchies, set in New York local courts of arraignment. I liked the lines 'Levinsky eyed the patients around him and wondered if he was looking at Dr Morrison's failures or successes. Was the point of being institutionalised to become so placid that you no longer reacted to life'?- a couch potato. I wonder how many other Claudias are out there with no happy ending?

Very predictable. The ending was obvious from halfway through the book.
