The book Girl, Interrupted is more detailed than the movie, because the movie does not contain many key significant parts in the book, possibly due to limited amount of investment and time.
Not only the movie lack in detail and description, the story plot was changed, and some characters in the novel were also cut out.
The novel focused on presenting a thorough analysis about the contrast between psychiatric hospital and the patients through amusing behaviour in real life.
It also demonstrated how the patients overcame their problems and fears and how they coped with it during their stay in the hospital.
However, the movie set its eyes more on the relationship between its patients.
Thus the Girl, Interrupted novel is more analytical, thoughtful, and amusing than the movie.
