Sometimes when an author spends a great deal of time researching a book, they are determined to include every interesting tidbit they uncovered, making the book much longer and more repetitive than necessary. This is the case here. The fight of Elizabeth Packard is very interesting, especially in the context of the modern-day landscape regarding women's rights and mental health. However, I would have loved this to be a tad more condensed. I also don't read a lot of non-fiction, so that might be my fiction-minded brain talking.
