Query: A Story Written Before, (and better!)

This is quite possibly one of the worst books I have read in a long time. Unfortunately, this story has been brilliantly written before by so many more authors; ( The Bell Jar, by Sylvia palth, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, etc.) I am not unsympathetic to her story, I am just very disappointed with her interpretation and her sperficial accounting. The "highlights" of her experiences are events that have been portrayed by many other authors and novels leaving the storyline falling flat and repetitive. The movie surely must have had to be re-invented for there is truly nothing there in the book. I have never before taken a book back, and this is the first one I ever considered doing so. If this subject interests you, as it did I, consider reading the other books mentioned for a vastly more rewarding experience. I am, however, giving Ms. Kaysen another chance with Far Afield. Hopefully it will prove to be more satisfying.
