Beautiful prose full of eloquent description. A challenging read in parts, due to Plath’s rawness.

I loved the book it was amazing the fact that i felt like i was going insane along with Esther proves that the book was written in such a beautiful way but i cant say it was perfect which is why i wont give it 5 stars i felt like there were a few boring parts but there werent a lot i quite liked the characters and loved reading about Esther Greenwood's life 
Sylvia plath is without doubt a genius her writing is sublime and the way she describes the characters and everything around them is marvelous
