So far, I'm pretty happy with The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It seems, so far, to be about a college girl in the city who is studying English and has an internship with a magazine in New York City. It describes her her fanciful city life that she lives since everything is paid for through scholarships and the internship itself, which greatly contrasts her meager lifestyle she had living with her family in New England.
So far, the context of the book isn't extremely interesting since it takes a very feminine perspective, which I simply don't enjoy by preference. However, the writing style Plath uses throughout the novel is very good, with slight sarcasm at points, but most of the time being pretty upfront with whatever she is feeling in certain situations. For example, when describing a birth she witnessed with her boyfriend in medical school, she just says upfront that she would want to see more of them. OVerall, everyone who I have asked said the book gets progressively better, and because it is already pretty good I will take their word for it and assume that it will wutn out to be as good as the professional reviews it was given.

Levy, I agree with most of the things you said. I just do not like the book at all so far. I think it is ridiculous how 'depressing' she says her life is and now I am gathering that she really does not have that much to be this depressed over. I think that she has been through many hardships, but she should still be able to find joy in the great things that she still has in her life, like her job and her friends. She has brought on her own depression and if she really wanted to turn her life around, it would still be waiting with open arms for her. She isn't open minded to anything. I don't mind the writing style of the story but I kind of hate the plot. Anyway, I respect your opinion levi.
peace
