Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A student from Boston wins a guest editorship on a national magazine, and finds a new world at her feet. Her New York life is crowded with possibilities, so the choice of future is overwhelming. She is faced with the perennial problems of morality, behaviour and identity.

Amazon.com Review:
Plath was an excellent poet but is known to many for this largely autobiographical novel. The Bell Jar tells the story of a gifted young woman's mental breakdown beginning during a summer internship as a junior editor at a magazine in New York City in the early 1950s. The real Plath committed suicide in 1963 and left behind this scathingly sad, honest and perfectly-written book, which remains one of the best-told tales of a woman's descent into insanity.

- I ordered the book and I DIDN't Even get it
They took money out of my account, and NEVER sent me the book. I ordered in Mid-november and it is now December. I ordered the book as a christmas present and They never delievered me the book. THEY STOLE MY MONEY and Didn't give me anything in return.

- The most famous book you've never read
How did I go 34 years without picking up and reading this gem? I'll tell you...It is not included on any public school reading list that I have ever seen and every college literature course that I took (just for fun) never examined Sylvia Plath's writing. Instead I had the misfortune of several lit. courses that focused on less talented modern poets/writers.

In 1963, this book would have been shocking. The main theme is mental disturbia, suicide, losing virginity, (an all out attack ... Read More

- Started out great
I thought the beginning was excellent; I really liked the first paragraph. Very tight writing, but then it started to falter. I know it's due to the emotional unraveling of Esther, but it just fell apart for me. Still worth reading.

- how did I miss this one??
As many other reviewers have stated, this book is filled with poetry. When I finished reading the last line, I flipped right to the first page and re-read it. I have only done that a few times in my life (most recently with "The Terror" by Dan Simmons). In High School I was required to Read "Catcher in the Rye" several times. Never once was this book even suggested. I have always enjoyed CITR, and have read it many times both for pleasure and requirement. I had heard of Plath, but had no idea ... Read More

Rating:

- Believe the Hype
Sylvia Plath has in many circles been something of the poster child for modern nihilism, almost to the point of a cultural in-joke (see Fight Club), but the first thing I was struck with was how witty and humorous The Bell Jar starts. For example, this passage:

"I'd discovered, after a lot of extreme apprehension about what spoons to use, that if you do something incorrect at table with a certain arrogance, as if you knew perfectly well you were doing it properly, you can get away with ... Read More
