It turned out to be "something to read". I don't know why I expected it to be more interesting but it's better than some books in that I was at least able to finish it. I just didn't get the point of the book but that could just be me -- others might really like it.

It's hard to not be obsessed by this book. It's alot of psychology...thinly veiled autobiography. the honesty is what got me. It's hard to admit that you have psychological disorders...let alone write, in detail about trying to kill yourself and your obsessions. THe main character, Esther, is a great medium to learn about Plath. Her writing is impeccable and when I first read it, I wished she had lived to write more prose. It's a beautiful and stunning piece of work. Just as pleasing to hear and read as her poetry. If you like emotional work, if you can handle raw hate and despair, you need to read this. It changed my writing style. If you're a writer, you REALLY need to read this.
some pages were horribly folded, the cover was ripped which made it look hideous. other than that, everything is fine. came fast, thank you! just hoping it’s not missing any pages but i’m super excited to read!

I liked the book because it is very real and enjoyable to read about her life. As the story goes on and as she very unobviously begins to lose her good mind, it grows a lingering sense of sadistic unempathetic rage of mental deterioration. Must read with an open mind to appreciate
