Haunting, and pretty damn confronting about the treatment of psychiatric disorders in the 1960s.

This was a beautifully written book and very thought provoking, but I will say it was a long read due to the absence of a solid plot and the age of the text. It was very monotonous, but there were some great parts if you can get through that!
