This, by itself, is an engaging read. But the fact that it is semi-autobiographical makes it all the more fascinating.

We human beings just have this perverse fascination for suffering/tortured fellow souls, don’t we? At least, I think I enjoyed this very much largely because I am such a human being—one with an inherent perverse fascination for our twisted side.

The Bell Jar was excellent! I thought it was a great book. I strongly recommend it. I suggest doing a little research about Sylvia Plath before reading the book…it makes the story much more interesting!
