The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
About a week ago, we began to read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath for my creative writing class. I'd already read it over Christmas break, but I'm finding that, unlike other books, I enjoy reading it again. I like the style of writing that Plath uses; the way she describes things are interesting and not common. I would definitely recommend this book. However, it wouldn't exactly be the best book for someone going through a bad time-it really is depressing. Even when life seems to be going well for her, things always end up taking a turn for the worse and she ends up just as miserable as she was before. If you're willing to read it despite this, the book is very good. It's well-written and interesting, and because it's based off her life, it's unique and unlike any other story I've read. Overall, I really enjoyed the book the first time I read it, and I'm enjoying it again.
