A review by happylilfaerie
Ariel by Sylvia Plath

I don't think this is for me, either I'm dumb as shit or English being my second language or both but I didn't understand a single thing in this poetry collection. 

Each page felt like it was a bunch of random words put together with no rhyme or reason. There's no rhythe scheme or metre; the words do not congure up any imagery, beautiful or otherwise; there is no meaning I can decipher... I was so bored throughout the entire thing. I'm not going to give it a star rating because as I said, I think this is not for me and so it wouldn't be fair for me to give it a one star.

Oh also, what's with the racism?? homegirl wrote this in the 1960s the civil rights movement was well under way then so there's no excuse for the bigotry displayed in her writing. She's considered a feminist? smeh white people.
