The Bell Jar Review

Plath takes you on a journey from the base to the tip of a knife. The travel through the cutting edge leaves scars that bring Esther to life.

We have all had a part of Esther in us. We will always have. No matter how subtle or intense.

You can read the first 100 pages without much effort and get only a glimpse of Esther. It's quick and brilliant. For the rest of the book I advise you all to go slow. Let Esther sit with you while you savour her individuality and Plath's fragrance around it....

The Bell Jar

This is not a review, just my experience with the book and I hope many many more people will read this one. I read this one at one go. The writing is brutally honest and sharp. The honest insights about love, sex, friendship and more ,redefines the conventional idealistic meaning of these words. Even if you do not know anything about Plath, her poetry and her life you can still enjoy this book. What causes me a lot of bewilderment is that a few people call the book depressing.

Sylvia...O Sylvia, Why?

I always maintain that Sylvia is someone known for her poetry more than prose.
Her poetry is revolutionary, especially Ariel, and I strongly reccommend it.
The Bell Jar is a good read for someone wanting to know more about her, or if you are an angsty teen going through similar situations.
Otherwise, on the whole it is not a very fine work of art.

It was awesome to read it. It's kind of satirical.

The plot is excellent, and the story is extremely depressing but nevertheless a great great read!

Highly recommended

The print was good, the delivered condition is good. Pages are not stuck or torn. Pages are thin (felt like it can be torn easily) but I like those pages(remind me to handle books better). GOOD one for the price I bought.
