sorry but personally I thought it sucked though I understood her feeliings.
There was a joke I heard the other day, "My mother was so dumb that she climbed over the glass wall to see what was on the other side." like reincarnation. I thought the stupididity was funny but I also understand it.

I think you have to consider it in the context of its time period. It might not be that amazing today, since we now take for granted the kind of psychological complexity that Plath was exposing--what? unhappiness in adolescents and young women? Not so shocking anymore, no. But that doesn't mean it is no longer relevant.

"... and I eat men like air."
Lady Lazarus, by Sylvia Plath
I don't remember "The Bell Jar," sorry.

I think it has some overwritten passages, but it has some wonderful pars as well.
As an artifact of its time, I think it's remarkable.

good, disturbing, exciting, yet intriguing at the same time. jd salinger-ish in a way. overrated? no.
