Summary: an incredible, but difficult read
Comment: Having just finished the book Cutting before reading this one, I have to say that A Bright Red Scream was very thorough, which at times made it very difficult to read. I fully appreciate the honesty of this book, as it really looks into the lives of those who self-injure, and refuses to see the behaviour as merely a pathological phenomenon. This book validates the experiences of the people she interviewed, which is in turn validating to those who SI in general. My only advice in regards to this book is that if you currently self-injure, or are a former self-injurer is to take this book a little at a time, since it can at times be incredibly triggering.

Summary: Marilee Strong actually understands what cutters feel!
Comment: I live in the Bay Area and first read Marilee's article on cutters in a local magazine. A friend has shown me a "sneak preview" copy of the book Marilee has written which is filled with the kind of true stories that only cutters know about. It is extremely powerful... and soothing because it makes us feel we're not alone. That is what people who self-injure most need to know. That we're not alone and not crazy.

Summary: Wow!
Comment: One of the best and most helpfull books I have ever read. Offers real and thoughtful insight and understanding. I am, myself a cutter, and it is refreshing reading a book that, for a change, I do not piff across the room in frustration!
Very easy to read and follow, addresses the issue in a non judgemental and open minded way.
