Sylvia Plath is one of my favorite writers and this book is a good book to read if you are ever feeling ennui. It has the same vibe as JD Salinger’s book - The Catcher In the Rye. This is a must read.

4.0

this was the first book i read for my dissertation, though i did want to read it even before. i found it really interesting, with a raw exploration of mental illness and societal expectations. the final third of the book delves into especially dark themes, which made it emotionally intense to read. despite that, it’s still a very powerful and thought provoking book.

This book gave me an insight on myself but from a more extreme point (the point I nearly lead myself into). So this book even tho it was really sad and depressing, made me actually meet myself.

i mean, it’s the bell jar. it makes me so sad knowing how autobiographical this was for her. i love the perspective, it’s morbidly funny at times, too. i listened, and maggie gyllenhaal read this very well. sylvia plath you will always be Her
