gayfatherof3 's review for:

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
3.5
dark emotional funny reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was not what I expected, but it was still good. 
Although there are some clear racist undertones and problematic parts of this book, it was a good read. 
The second half of the book really carries a lot of weight and is emotional.
