The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath

I finished this book with all the intention in the world to talk it up and tell everyone what a fantastic book it is...I can't even begin to put words on this page. FML!

I will say that I cried more while reading this book than I have reading any other book thus far on my journey of the Top 100. This poor girl had a horrid life, and she knew it.

On another note...I did read Virgin Suicides. If anyone has teenage daughters, might be depressed, knows anyone that has committed suicide or really doesn't feel like crying, I don't recommend reading this book. Don't get me wrong, it's a great book. But that's just it...it's almost too good. I felt like these girls were my friends and they slipped out from my grasp and left this world without my permission. ..
