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.

What do I think of this book?
Surprisingly, I liked it. At first, I didn't at all. About half way through, I statred paying more attention and started to like it. The beginning was a bit confusing for me, but by the end, I conected with Ester and liked the book.
