Did you like it? honestly, i hated the book, but it has such high reviews, am i missing something? ++++++++++ 07-23-02, 10:51 AM cattywampus I have always thought Sylvia Plath an overrated poet. The Bell JarI seem to remember was interesting, but anything but memorable. The critics love her, for some reason. ?? roll eyes

I'm not aware of many creative non-fiction works of that nature, and would bet that she was one of the first authors of her genre to be so open and honest about her path to destruction.
