A review by clarascissorhands
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.
I found this story so confusing. It's told in vignettes, so it's unclear how much time passes between each chapter. The writing is quite lyrical but again, I felt utterly confused most of the time. The main character is deeply unlikable, her inner monologue is cruel and selfish - but nothing really happens (at least up until the point I finally gave up). If you like plot this is not your book. I tried to force myself to listen to this because it's a classic, but life's too short to read stuff you hate
