completed my reading on Prozac Nation... finally.. hehee... it is a truly good read. i'm sure the handful of people who have read couldn't agree more. why is it good? i shall give a short review. first of all, the memoir was plotted very skillfully - there was a very vivid picture of Introduction, Climax (for almost three-quarter of the book), a very abrupt anti-climax and a rather subtle resolution. fortunately, i believe the author is a perfectionist and put a very proper ending to her book. there was an afterword and acknowledgements section at the back which gave readers contentment. basically, i like the author's forthright honesty. many a times, people are clouded by multiple emotions which is indescribable. i'm impressed by Elizabeth Wurtzel's ability to convey such difficult and profound feelings in good vocabulary. i absolutely love the climax, i was anticipating for the peak of the story which was pretty much satisfying, (however was hoping for something else better) but for a biography, it is good. :) the afterword is really praiseworthy. it was like an evaluation - a sort of debate about how the society was plunging downhill with rising numbers of depressives. the author was keeping it real. i admire honesty in literature. so blog readers, who are fans of memoirs, please go read it.

my new read is Oscar Wilde's, The Picture of Dorian Gray. the first few pages are already inspiring. it just brings back a certain feeling of admiration. oh wells, i shall say that memories can only remain a part of you, you can't replay it in the exact same manner.
